Start Jamming...
[B] [C] [F]
[B] [C]
[D] [F] [C]
Shouldn't leave a lover alone too long
Lover finds another, then the lover is gone
Find yourself alone in the setting sun
Gonna take a couple years before the next dawn, [G] yeah
[C] If your love is gone
[F] [G]
[F] [C] And my love is gone
Lonesome leaves the bitters, and the bitters leaves the pain
And the pain starts a-bubbling from your heart to your brain
So you never ever make her cry again
But the tears started welling in her eye [F] again
[G]
[F] [C] She was my [Am] best [C] friend,
[G] [F] [C] but I did it again
[F] Know that you're [C] tired of the drama
[F] Know [Dm] that you're [C] tired of the pain
[F] Know that you're [Am] tired of our love affair
[F] But honey, [G] can we please [Am] try [C] it again?
[F] [Dm] [C]
[D] [Gm] [F]
[C]
I'm the type of guy with a wandering eye
Got a couple drinks and I don't know why
Every time I see another girl walk by
Wandering eye starts to objectify, [G] yeah
[C] And I don't know why
[F] [G] I'm [F] [C] a natural guy
And [F] I know that you're tired [C] of the drama
[F] Know that [Dm] you're tired [C] of the strain
[F]
Know that [C] you're tired of our love [B] affair
But [F] honey, [G] can we please
[D] try it [C] again?
[F]
[Dm] [B] [C] [Am]
[G] [F] [C]
