C#            C
What's that ring
        F         F
around your finger
C#            C      F         F
Is that a hickey on your neck

With the ex lovers blues
C#      C        F*   Em     Eb
In deeper lanes he still cares
C#       C          F      F
That's the difference him and you

You wanna different kind of fire
C#               C        F     F
ohoh you're preaching to the choir
C#           C
And if you tell me
             F*      Em      Eb
There's someone who takes you higher
C#               C
oh you're just preaching
       F     F
to the choir
C#              C
I know you got lonely
F*        Em      Eb
I know you got lonely
C#           C        F
I guess I got lonely too
