Gracie Abrams - I Know It Won’t Work

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
Bm G
I left you here
D A
Heard you keep the extra closet empty
Bm G
In case this year
D A
I come back and stay through all my twenties
Bm G
What if I won’t
D A
How am I supposed to put that gently?
Bm G
And down the road
D A Bm D G A
You will love me until you resent me, mmm

[Verse 2]
Bm G
I’ve had the thought
D A
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin’
Bm G
What if I’m not
D A
Worth the time and breath I know you’re savin’?
Bm G
But it’s a lot
D A
All the shine of half a decade fadin’
Bm G
The whole facade
D A Bm D G A
Seem to fall, but it’s complicated, mmm

[Chorus]
D G
A part of me wants to walk away ‘til you really listen
D Em
I hate to look in your face and know that we’re feelin’ different
D G
‘Cause part of me wants you back, but
D Em
I know it won’t work like that, huh
D G
Why won’t try movin’ on for once? That might make it easy
D Em
I know we cut all the ties, but you’re never really leavin’
D G
And part of me wants you back, but
D Em D G
I know it won’t work like that, huh
D
I know it won’t work like that

[Verse 3]
G
I’ll open up
D
And thinkin’ everythin’ you wish I wasn’t
G
The call was tough
D
But you’re better off, I’m bein’ honest
G
So, won’t you stop
D
Holdin’ out for me when I don’t want it?
G
Just brush me off
D
‘Cause I’m your ghost right now, your house is haunted

[Chorus]
D G
A part of me wants to walk away ‘til you really listen
D Em
I hate to look in your face and know that we’re feelin’ different
D G
‘Cause part of me wants you back, but
D Em
I know it won’t work like that, huh
D G
Why won’t try movin’ on for once? That might make it easy
D Em
I know we cut all the ties, but you’re never really leavin’
D G D
And part of me wants you back, but
Em D G D
I know it won’t work like that, huh (Oh-oh-oh)
Em D G D
I know it won’t work like that, huh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Em
I know it won’t work like that, huh
D G
A part of me wants to walk away ‘til you really listen
D Em
I hate to look in your face and know that we’re feelin’ different

‘Cause part of me wants you back, but
