[G]
I don't care if you never come [C] home, I don't mind if you just [G] keep on rolling away on a distant [Em] sea
Cause I [D] don't love you when you don't [G] love me
Cause a commotion when you come to town, [C] give him a smile and he'll melt
Have your [G] lovers and friends, it's all good and fine
But I [D] don't like yours and you don't [G] like mine
[C] La la [G] la la la la [D] la la la
[C] La la [G] la la la la la [D] la la
[G]
I don't care what you do at night, [C] I don't care how you get to the lights
[G] I'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be
[D] I only love you when you don't [G] love me
[C] I got a problem
[G] when you're late
I [Am] got a woman
[G] calling love pain.
[C] We made love, [G] we always pranked.
[Am] How could we know how [G] much it would take?
[C] La la [G] la la la [D] la la.
[C] La la [G] la la la la la.
[D]
[G]
I tried to love you for years upon [C] years, you refused to take me for real.
[G] It's time you saw what I want you to see, that I [D] still love you with just [G] my heart.
[C]
I got a problem, [G]
can you relate?
[Am]
I got a woman calling [G] love pain.
[C] We made love, [G] we always pranked.
[Am]
How could we know what promises [G]
end?
[C] La la [G] la la la [D]
la la.
[C] La la [G] la la [D] la la la.
[C] La la [G] la [C] la [D] la la la.
[C] La la [G] la la la [D] la la.
Oh, [C] love.
