These are Letter To An Old Poet chords by boygenius on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
                     C
I said I think you're special
                      F
You told me once that I'm
 selfish
                 G
And I kissed you hard
                    F
In the dark, in the closet
                    C
You said my music is mellow
                 F
Maybe I'm just exhausted
                        G
You think you're a good person
Because you won't punch
           F
 me in the stomach
[Pre-Chorus]
    F   C      G
And I love you
             F
I don't know why
         Am  Em    F
I just do, oh, but

[Chorus]
           C       
You're not special,
        G
 you're evil
F                      
 You don't get to tell
  Am       Em
 me to calm down
F                         C  G
 You made me feel like an equal
F                    Am
 But I'm better than you
    Em                      F
And you should know that by now
         C             G
When you fell down the stairs
F                  Am  
 It looked like it hurt 
       Em
and I wasn't sorry
F              C   
 I should have left 
     G
you right there
F               Am  
 With your hostages, 
    Em           F
my heart and my car keys
C         G
You don't know me

[Bridge]
F           C
 I wanna be happy
         F                C   
I'm ready to walk into my room
      G              Dm
 without lookin' for you
     F            C 
I'll go up to the top
         G
 of our building
Dm      F         Am 
  And remember my dog 
        Em                F
when I see the full moon
[Outro]
F       C    G  F
I can't feel it yet
    C    G   F
But I am waiting
