Ivy Chords by The Football Club

[VERSE]
   G
My best friend's obsessive, and manic depressive
              Em         D               C
And she makes lots of mistakes, but never learns any lessons
        G
And she cried on my shoulder the last time we were together
           Em              G           C
And said I just don't know how to make anything better

[BRIDGE]
             Em             D           C               G           (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said I know that it's tempting to regress on your goals
       Em       D          C        C
In the medicine section of Essendon Coles, but

[CHORUS]
     G
Just try
     Am
Just try

[VERSE 2]
   G
Your boyfriend’s abhorrent, 
              Em         D               C
But you still adore him. 
        G                    Em              G           C
Yeah, he treats like you like shit, but you’d still do anything for him. 

   G
And I said “I made my r-pist, 
              Em         D               C
A Spotify playlist, 
        G                    Em              G           C
When I turned 18, as my own little birthday gift”. 

[BRIDGE 2]
             Em             D           C               G           (D/F# as a passing chord)
And she said Jesus; I can’t believe the way that they treat us, 
       Em       D          C        C
I wish they’d all take the time to walk a mile in my Adidas. 

[CHORUS 2]
     G
Just try
     Am
Just try

[POSTCHORUS](SAME CHORDS AS BRIDGE)
             Em             D           C               G           (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said, as long as you’re trying, that’s fine by me. 
       Em       D          C        C
I’m just trying to save you from poison, Ivy. 

[VERSE 3]
   G
I know that I’m changing, 
              Em         D               C
And it might seem strange, 
        G                    Em              G           C
And yeah, I understand if you don’t want to call me my name. 

   G                  Em         D               C
Yeah, it makes me upset, but I try not to let it get to me, 
        G                    Em              G           C
I’ve adjusted to the fact you’ll probably never call me Ruby. 

[MIDDLE 8 / GUITAR SOLO OVER SAME CHORDS]
            Am
And, that’s fine.
        D
That's fine
        Am
That's fine,
       D
That's fine.

             Em             D           C               G           (D/F# as a passing chord)
And I said, as long as you’re trying, that’s fine by me. 
       Em       D          C        C
I’m just trying to save you from poison, Ivy.
