Maude Latour - Block Your Number

[Intro]

It’s always best at the beginning

[Verse 1]
A
I remember when we first fell in love
D
Symphonies at the bus stop on a Tuesday
A
I was wearing blue Nike high tops
E
You were annotating Greek tragedies
A
I spent the next eight months
D
Documentin’ my heart in voice memos
A
Tryna’ write down my feelings in real time
E D
Part of me knew it would slip through my fingers so quickly
N.C.
Like it always does

[Pre-Chorus]
D
I guess I was too much for you
E
Or was I just not enough for you?
D
I can never decide, so I analyze
E
Replay all the scenes in my movie screen
D
How I pulled away and you made me pay
E
That weekend in May, that night in July
D
Blame it on summer, blame it on distance
E
Blame it on me, on all my resistance
D
To get in so close, I might really need you
E
You’re the one person, who might really see through
D
All of my bullshit and all of my anger
E
That time when you called and I didn’t answer
D
So I just relive these communications
E
And then I go back to our last conversation

[Chorus]
A E
Now you’re leaning against a brick wall
D
With your backpack on baby
A E
You look so much older than
D
Than when I met you
A E
I can’t believe its over
D
I watch our lives untangle
A E D
I guess that this is the part when

I block your number

[Verse 2]
A D
Sorting through the nuances of conversation

Your affliction tells me if you mean it
A
Modern love is so damn romantic
E D
The irony of poor connection as we talk over FaceTime
D
What a metaphor
A
You say I remind you of fiction
D
A remarkable girl but also a nightmare
A E
You found it poetic and sometimes magnetic
D
Until you got sick of my psychoanalysis
E
Like they always do

[Pre-Chrous]
D
I’ll blame it on summer, I’ll blame it on distance
E
I’ll blame it on you, on all your persistence
D
That it’s only chances, and it’s only timin’
E
And if it were perfect, I wouldn’t be cryin’
D
On the floor of my dorm room, you wait in the lobby
E
And you keep insistin’ and I keep on sobbin
D
And I just relive the deliberations
E
And then I go back to our last conversation

[Chorus]
A E
Now you’re leaning against a brick wall
D
With your backpack on baby
A E
You look so much older than
D
Than when I met you
A E
I can’t believe it’s over
D
I watch our lives untangle
A E
I guess that this is the part when
D
I block your number

[Outro]
A E
I’ll blame it on summer, I’ll blame it on distance (I block your number)
F#m D
I’ll blame it on you, on all your persistence (I block your number)
A E
That it’s only chances, and it’s only timin’ (I block your number)
F#m D
And if it were perfect, I wouldn’t let be cryin’ (I block your number)
A E
On the floor of my dorm room, you wait in the lobby (I block your number)
F#m D
And you keep insistin’ and I keep on sobbin (I block your number)
A E
And I just relive the deliberations (I block your number)
F#m
And then I go back to our last conversation
