Verse 1:
Am7 D7
You can say that I can stay
But, no, you can't have it your way
Gmaj7 G7
I'm sayin', "Bye, bye, bye," to those days
Am7 D7
But I would say that we should wait
Just to see how long it'd take
Gmaj7 G7
Then we'd lie, lie, lie to each other, babe
Pre-Chorus:
Am7 D7 G D
Been a serial monogamist and I'm serious that I don't miss
F E Am7
The arguments or checkin' in at midnight
D7
So tell me if it's okay now
Chorus:
G Em
To take off your clothes but by morning I won't try to hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Promise I won't call you later, try to get to know you (Know you)
G Em
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, don't wanna hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Hold you up, hold you down, hold you to comin' back around
G Em Am7 D7
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Verse 2:
Am7 D7
Used to live inside my head, felt so guilty in your bed
Gmaj7 G7
For a while, while, while it was complicated
Am7 D7
Please don't feel bad when I'm gone
You can call me what you want
Gmaj7 G7
But don't dial, dial, dial my numbеr, baby
Pre-Chorus:
Am7 D7 G D
Been a serial monogamist and I'm serious that I don't miss
F E Am7
The arguments or checkin' in at midnight
D7
So tell me if it's okay now
Chorus:
G Em
To take off your clothes but by morning I won't try to hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Promise I won't call you later, try to get to know you (Know you)
G Em
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, don't wanna hold you (Hold you)
Am7 D7
Hold you up, hold you down, hold you to comin' back around
G Em Am7 D7
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
