[Intro]
Adelaide

[Verse 1]
Em
Bite my tongue     
I like you better when 
        D
you're with someone
You could have spent 
                 C
you're love on anyone
                      Am
But you're wasting in on
                         B
But you're wasting in on him
Em
Hold my breath
Walking on broken glass
       D
 with every step
You might be with him, 
       C
but I know who's next
                      Am
'Cause you leading me on
                  B
You're leading me on

[Chorus]
Em
Adelaide 
Wish I didn't think about
      B
 you every day
And I know that you're with
              Am
 him just to get to me
       Am
And he gets to me
C
Every time I hear him say
Em                           
Adelaide, don't pretend you're
                 B
 happy like you wanna stay
When your arms are around him
        Am
 do you wish it's me?
       Am
Do you picture me
C
Every time you hear him say
Adelaide?

[Verse 2]
Em
Bite your tongue
Don't say you love him when
 he's not the one
Gave you a fever that 
     C
you can't outrun
               Am
And I know you feel it
                B
'Cause I feel it too
 Em
Ruin my life
                     
Long as you're in it,
        D
 then I won't think twice
I thought I quit you, 
            C
but you're still my prize
                       Am
'Cause when I hear the name
                B
When I hear the name
