[Verse 1]
          G  C G
Whoever said
       C                                   G   C G
That words can't hurt you must have never had
    C                               Bm
A dictionary dropped down on their head
          Am
From a distance
             F
The last I checked
                  Am  D
That'd knock you dead

           G      C G
And I'm impressed
         C                       G    C G
'Cause based on the available context
      C                                   Bm
Well, I don't think you were speaking in jest
             Am
I think you meant it
               F
Because you signed it
               D     C#
And then you sent it


[Chorus]
                       D
You coulda told me to get lost
     G          F         Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C                      D
You coulda told me to fuck off
    G       F            Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
         C                D
But for all the days we spent together
    Em                      A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"


[Verse 2]
          G    C G
Well, I confess
    C                                   G   C G
If this was just some ruthless kind of test
    C                          Bm
To see if I'd get uselessly obsessed
                 Am
Well, then you nailed it
              F
'Cause you passed it
         D      C# C
And I failed it


[Chorus]
                       D
You coulda told me to get lost
     G          F         Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C                      D
You coulda told me to fuck off
    G       F            Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
         C                D
But for all the days we spent together
    Em                      A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"

[Post-Chorus]
F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7        G7    C
I'd have never guessed
                  G
Baby, you chose "Best"


[Bridge]
Fmaj7           Em7                 D#     D             G
Peace, love, sincerely, warmest regards, cheers, yours truly, XO
 C          B7     Em/D                A              C
Talk soon, later, thanks for reading, with all due respect
            Cm
Let me be direct


[Verse 3]
          G    C G
Did you forget
     C                            G   C G
How many times the two of us had sex?
       C                              Bm
Though I would call it love making instead
              Am
At least a thousand
              F
The last I checked
             D      C# C
But who's counting?


[Chorus]
                       D
You coulda told me to get lost
     G          F         Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C                      D
You coulda told me to fuck off
    G       F            Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
         C                D
But for all the days we spent together
    Em                      A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"


[Outro]

F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7        G7    C
I'd have never guessed
                  G
Baby, you chose "Best"

F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7        G7    C
I'd have never guessed
                  G
Baby, you chose "Best"

F#m  B7  Em
Oh, woah oh
             Dm7       G7         C
All of the things you could have said
                  G
Baby, you chose "Best"
