EmBm I met this girl late last year CD She said don't you worry if I disappear EmBm I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake CD I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait Em But then I jump right in Bm A week later return CD I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn EmBm But I gave her my time for two or three nights CD Then I put it on pause until the moment was right EmBmCD I went away for months until our paths crossed again EmBm She told me I was never looking for a friend CD Maybe you could swing by my room around 10 EmBm Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin CD We'll be in between the sheets until the late AM EmBm Baby, if you wanted me then you should've just said
C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC That heart is so cold DEm All over my home Bm I don't wanna know that babe C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC I told her she knows DEm Take aim and reload Bm I don't wanna know that babe CD Ah-la-la-la-la Bm Only want to see her CD We drink away the days with a take away pizza EmBm Before a text message was the only way to reach her CD Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her Em Singing out Aretha Bm All over the track like a feature CD And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either EmBm But me and her we make money the same way CD Four cities, two planes the same day EmBm Those shows have never been what it's about CD But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out EmBm I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch C But we should get on a plane D Or we'll be missing it now Em Wish I'd have written it down Bm The way that things played out C When she was kissing him D How? I was confused about EmBm She should figure it out while I'm sat here singing
C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC That heart is so cold DEm All over my home Bm I don't wanna know that babe C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC I told her she knows DEm Take aim and reload Bm I don't wanna know that babe CD Ah-la-la-la-la
EmBm *Knock knock knock* on my hotel door CD I don't even know if she knows what for Em She was crying on my shoulder Bm I already told ya CD Trust and respect is what we do this for EmBm I never intended to be next CD But you didn't need to take him to bed that's all EmBm And I never saw him as a threat CD Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course EmBm It's not like we were both on tour D We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor EmBm And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment CD But it was never just fun and I thought you were different EmBm This is not the way you realize what you wanted CD It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest EmBm And all this time, God knows I'm singing
C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC That heart is so cold DEm All over my home Bm I don't wanna know that babe C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC I told her she knows DEm Take aim and reload Bm I don't wanna know that babe C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC That heart is so cold DEm All over my home Bm I don't wanna know that babe C Ah-la-la-la-la DEm Don't fuck with my love BmC I told her she knows DEm Take aim and reload Bm I don't wanna know that babe N.C.
