# Nothing Personal **[INTRO | 8 bars | muted bass + dry acoustic guitar | no vocals]** **[VERSE 1 | tight groove | conversational]** Don't take it wrong I always do this You tell me something I say, "that's rough" You look at me I know it's not enough I wanna care I swear I do But half the time I'm somewhere else with you **[PRE-CHORUS | guitar motif slowly rising]** I watch your face Waiting for a sign That I'm supposed to feel Something I can't find Maybe I don't care Maybe I'm scared **[CHORUS | bass-forward | restrained, repetitive earworm]** Nothing personal It's just what I do I get too close Then disappear on you Nothing personal I swear it's not you I just don't know What I'm supposed to do Nothing personal Nothing personal **[POST-CHORUS | bass hook + guitar riff | no vocals]** Bass and acoustic repeat the main motif. Brief drum fill leading into Verse 2. **[VERSE 2 | bass-led | slightly more melodic]** I leave you waiting Then feel like shit Type out "I'm sorry" Delete that shit Three days later I act like we're fine Like you weren't counting Every wasted night You ask what's wrong I say, "nothing much" You reach for me I pull back from the touch **[PRE-CHORUS | stripped down | intimate]** I keep the people I don't mean to lose Then act surprised When they get tired of me too **[CHORUS | fuller band | more urgency]** Nothing personal It's just what I do I get too close Then disappear on you Nothing personal I swear it's not you I just don't know What I'm supposed to do Nothing personal Nothing personal **[BREAKDOWN | drums drop | bass + acoustic only]** Maybe that's the problem I make it sound Like there's nothing wrong Like if I call it nothing personal Nobody has to know **[BRIDGE | acoustic only | almost spoken → breaking]** I wish I had A better reason Something clean I could believe in But the truth is Pretty fucking small Sometimes you needed me And I wasn't there at all **[FINAL CHORUS | full band | biggest emotional lift, still restrained]** Nothing personal It's just what I do I get too close Then disappear on you Nothing personal I swear it's not you I keep hurting people I don't want to lose Nothing personal Nothing personal Maybe that's the worst part **[OUTRO | bass alone | fading]** You didn't do anything I just wasn't there
