[Intro]
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb (x2)

[Verse 1]
Bb
I was treading water
till the minute we met
         Bb
Till you caught a teacher's
daughter with a dangerous text
  Gm             F
I read it like a Bible and
   Eb             F           Bb
I wore it like a bulletproof vest
Bb
Found myself a lover that
made everything rhyme
Bb
Slept under your covers,
it made everything right
Gm             F
Yeah, I was the DJ and
     Eb
the darling
        F           Bb
of your passenger side
[Chorus]
     Eb                F
So I know that you did bad
       Bb       Dm/A
But if one more person
 Gm         F        Eb
says it, I might go mad
        Eb             F
Yeah, I know it didn't last
             Bb       Dm/A
And what was cheap to you,
   Gm       F     Eb
 to me, was all I had
          Eb
The issue is, I know
                 F
all of this and I
                     Bb
I still want you back
 Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb

I still want you back
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb

[Verse 2]
Bb
Found yoursеlf a lover,
I bet she doеsn't sing
Bb
But baby when you touch her,
 I bet she doesn't flinch
       Gm             F
She'll have you every summer
        Eb           F
when I only had you half
         Bb
of the spring
    Bb
You left like an assassin,
maybe that's for the best
              Bb
'Cause if you told me
what would happen,
I think I would have begged
       Gm         F
So you gotta be a coward
       Eb           F
and I salvaged a little
         Bb
 self-respect

[Chorus]
        Eb                F
Yeah, I know that you did bad
       Bb       Dm/A   Gm
But if one more person says it,
   F        Eb
 I might go mad
        Eb             F
Yeah, I know it didn't last
             Bb       Dm/A
And what was cheap to you,
   Gm       F     Eb
to me, was all I had
          Eb
The issue is,
                        F
 I know all of this and I
I still want you back
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb

[Bridge]
F                  Gm
I'm not allowed to want
 you any longer
       Eb
I must go out with a stranger

I must kiss him to get stronger
F
So I don't tell a soul but
       Gm
 I'd be yours again tomorrow
       Eb                    F
If you wanted, but you don't wanna

[Chorus]
     Eb                F
So I know that you did bad
       Bb       Dm/A   Gm
But if one more person says it,
   F        Eb
 I might go mad
          Eb             F
It wasn't real, it was for me,
 but you know that
      Bb         Dm/A   Gm
And I bet you've thrown away
     F        Eb
 our photographs
          Eb
The issue is,
                        F
I know all of this and I

I still want you back
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb

I still want you back
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb

I still want you back
Bb  Dm/A  Gm  F  Eb
