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