[G]
I don't care if you never come [C] home, I don't mind if you just keep [G] on rolling away on a
distant [Em] sea, cause I [D] don't love you when you [G] don't love me.
Cause a commotion when you come to town, [C]
you give him a smile and he melts.
Having [G] lovers and friends is all good and fine, but I [D] don't like yours when you don't [G] like mine.
[C] La, la, la, [G] la, la, la, la, [D]
la, la, [C] la, [G] la, la, la, la, la, la, [D] la, la,
[G]
la, la, la, la.
I don't care what you do when I'm [C] home, I don't care how you get your delights,
[G] I'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be.
[D] I don't love you when you don't [G] love me.
[C] I got a problem
[G] and you're late,
[Am] I got a woman
[G] calling my face.
[C] We made a vow, [G] we'll always be friends.
[Am] How could we know that promises [G] end?
[C] La, la, [G]
[D]
[C] la, [G] la, la, la, la, [D] la, la.
[G]
I tried to love you for years upon years,
[C] you refused to take me for real.
[G] This time you saw what I wanted to see,
and [D] I still loved you, it's just that
[G]
I [C]
got a problem [G]
and it's related.
[Am]
I got a woman calling [G] my name.
[C] We made a vow, [G] we'll always be friends.
[Am]
How could we know that promises [G]
end?
[C] La, la, [G] la, la, la, la, [D] la, la, [C] la,
[G] la.
