[Verse 1]
[Em]I'll call you bitc[Bm]h for short
[C][Am]
[Em]As a last [Bm]resort, and my first[Am] resor[G]t

[Verse 2]
On a bathroom [Em]wall I wrote
"I'd rather argue [Bm]with you
than to be with someone [C]else"[Am]
I took a piss and [Em]dismiss
it like fuck it and I
[Bm]went and found somebody [Am]else[G]
Fuck arguing [Em]harvesting the feelings,
yo I'd [Bm]rather be by my fucking [C]self
[Am]'Til about two A.M.[Em]
And I call back and I hang [Bm]up
and I start to blame my[Am]self
Somebody help

Let's call out [Em]names, [Bm]names, for [Am]sure[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]You weren't perfect
but you [Bm]made life worth it
[C]Stick around,
some real [Am]feelings might surface
[Em]Been a long [Bm]time since I spoke to you
In [Am]a bathroom gripping you up,[G]
fucking and choking you
[Em]What the hell [Bm]was I supposed to do?
I [C]know you ain't getting
this type of [Am]dick from that local dude
[Em]And if you are[Bm]
I hope you have a good [Am]time
'Cause I'll definitely be [G]having mine

[Bridge 1]
And you ain't [Em]gonna see
a mogul get e[Bm]motional
[C]Every time I hear about
[Am]other niggas that's stroking you
[Em]Lying say I hit you
He [Bm]sitting there consoling you
[Am]Rubbing my name threw the [G]mud
Who's provoking you?
[Em]You should be grateful
a nigga [Bm]like me ever noticed you
[C]Now you noticeable
and [Am]can't nobody get control of you
[Em]One A.M. and can't nobody[Bm]
get a hold of you
I'm [Am]calling your brothers phone
like [G]what was I supposed to do?
[Em]Even though I knew[Bm],
he never told the truth
[C]He was just gon' say
what[Am]ever you gon' told him to
[Em]At a certain point
I [Bm]had to stop asking questions
[Am]Y'all got dirt on each other
[G]like mud wrestlers
I heard he [Em]bought some
Coke with my [Bm]money
That ain't right girl
[C]You getting blackmailed
[Am]for that white girl
[Em]You always said, "Yeezy I ai[Bm]n't your right girl
[Am]You probably find one of them
"I [G]like art"-type girls"
[Em]All of the lights, she was
[Bm]caught in the hype girl
And [C]I was satisfied
being in [Am]love with the lie
Now who to [Em]blame?
You to blame?
Me to [Bm]blame?
For the pain
and it be [Am]pouring every time when it [G]rained

[Chorus 4]
Let's play the [Em]blame [Bm]game, I [C]love you, [Am]more
Let's play the [Em]blame [Bm]game for [Am]sure[G]

[Verse 4]
Things used to [Em]be, now they [Bm]not
Anything but [C]us is who we are
[Am]Disguising ourselv[Em]es as secret lovers
[Bm]We've become public enem[Am]ies
[G]We walk away like str[Em]angers in the street
[Bm]Gon' for eternity
[C]We erased one anot[Am]her
So far from [Em]where we came
With [Bm]so much of everything,
[Am]how do we leave with n[G]othing?
Lack of [Em]visual empathy equ[Bm]ates
the meaning of L- O- [C]V-E
Hat[Am]red and attitude tear us en[Em]tirely
[Bm]Chlo[Am]e Mitchell[G]

[Chorus 5]
Let's play the [Em]blame [Bm]game, I [C]love you, [Am]more
Let's play the [Em]blame [Bm]game for [Am]sure[G]
Let's call out [Em]names, [Bm]names, I [C]hate you, [Am]more
Let's call out [Em]names, [Bm]names, for [Am]sure[G]

[Bridge 2]
[Em]I can't love[Bm] you this much
[C]I can't love you this m[Am]uch
[Em]I can't love[Bm] you this much
[Am]I can't love you this mu[G]ch
[Em]I can't love[Bm] you this much
No, [C]I can't love you this m[Am]uch
[Em]I can't love[Bm] you this much
[Am]I can't love you this mu[G]ch

[Verse 5]
And I know that you are [Em]somewhere
doing your [Bm]thing
And when the phone [C]called
it just rang and [Am]rang
You ain't pick [Em]up but your phone
[Bm]accidentally called me [Am]back
And I heard the whole [G]thing
[Em]I he[Bm]ard t[C]he whole thing[Am]
Whole [Em]thing, [Bm]whole thing,
whole [Am]thing[G]
