Practical

Intro.: G Em C D

G Em C D
Call it instinct, but I think she's gone for good this time
'Cause every time she's left she leaves her toothbrush behind
It just now dawned on me
I was thinking of us, and there it was
I bent down to pick up the trash off the waste basket and saw the worn down bristles of a toothbrush

G Em C D
And this could be the best thing for you and me
I don't know, it just feels like it
I know we swore no strings attached
But that was before we realized it

Em Am C D
And it's like you said
You should learn to be a little less emotional
And instead, we could be more practical
And I bet you thought I was gullible
When you said,
Let's not take this personal

G Em C D
And everyone said watch your step unless you like the tightrope
But falling's the best part regardless of how hard it is
Who needs a net?
Hoping no one gets hurt playing with fire
But somehow somebody always gets burnt
It's a small price to pay just to play with the flames
That's why I never listened

G Em C D
And this could be the best thing for you and me
I don't know it just feels like it
I know we swore no strings attached
But that was before we realized it
