( Dm  Bb  F  Gm)
I'm just the elephant in the room

What's your best excuse? (Best excuse)
         ( Dm  Bb  F )
I'm just the elephant in the room

               ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
Do you really wanna be the one

That makes this so uncomfortable tonight? Yeah
             ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
When you could be one

To set the record straight

You think it's not the perfect time, uh

                ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I wish I could be the one to make it easy

But I'll remind you that you're gonna hurt some feelings
                    ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
So you slide around the issues and lay low

Heaven forbid you got to dirty up the halo

So

        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm not gonna let this go

Don't know what you're waiting for
       ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm not gonna let you go

So

          ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant in the room

What's your best excuse? (Best excuse)
             ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant in the room

Better think this through, yeah
                ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
You don't wanna talk about your feelings

I'll be in the corner with the reasons
       ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant

I'm just the elephant in the room

Room

            ( Dm  Bb F  Gm )
I'm gonna be the darkest secret

That you can't forget and keep back in your mind (my mind)
              ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
So when people ask what's wrong with you
               ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
You can't explain what's killing you inside (inside)

                 ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I don't know why you got to cheat on what you stand for
                   ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
You try to look away, but I'm too big to ignore
                    ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I can lay off if you say so
                   ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
A guilty conscious is obnoxious with no pay though

So

        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm not gonna let this go

Don't know what you're waiting for
        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm not gonna let you go

So

        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant in the room

What's your best excuse? (Best excuse)
      ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant in the room

Better think this through, yeah
        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
You don't wanna talk about your feelings
        ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'll be in the corner with the reasons
         ( Dm  Bb  F  Gm )
I'm just the elephant

I'm just the elephant in the room
