[Chorus]
  A               F#m
You’re all that I need

But we break every time

Your trouble’s the same as mine

[Verse 1]
 A                     F#m
You have me love with difficulty
     A               F#m
It’s in the ringtone when
you call me

When we go, it’s like tsunami
 C#7
Runnin’ your mouth with that malarkey
A                    F#m
Well let me take the lead and
I’ll show
A                 F#m
I’m Villanelle to your Sandra Oh
D                  Bm
It’s only for the drama I know
 C#7
Bitter to sweet the way that we flow
A             F#m
So I play for your reaction
A                    F#m
Then you throw your cheap distraction
D             Bm
Ah ah, ah-ah, ah
C#7
Ah ah, ah-ah, ah
