But I'm in a Rover, 
          Fm7   G
I won't feel a thing

[Verse]
                  Ebmaj7      
Guess I've been awake thinking
             Eb13
 'bout our fate
                Abmaj7    
Fighting two devils, blood
            Fm7    G
 in my toothpaste

Spit into the night (Ooh),

thought it would be nice (Ooh)
                    Amaj9 
You just makе me nervous,
                 Fm7    G
 you werе cold as ice (You're cold)
                Ebmaj7              Eb13
I was in your town, drivin' eighty miles
          Gdim  Abmaj7             Fm7
Do not even notice, do not even frown
      G+           Gm/C      
And how could I deserve this? 
                 Bbm9 
I'm never slowin' down 
          Eb13
(Never slowin' down)
                        Abmaj9      
Don't love me at the surface, love me 
             Fm7       
like it's now (Love me, 
             G
love me, love me, love me)
