Verse 1

C majorC      FF        D MajorD
 Something don't feel right
      G+G            D MajorD        FF
Because it ain't right, especially comin' up after midnight
C majorC       FF   D MajorD
 I smell your secret

How did it come down to this, going through your call list

There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one

 What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy?

 Or like being walked all over lately?

-self or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king
   C majorC                   FF       D MajorD
Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets

G+G       D MajorD       FF
 They used to hide from you, lie to you
C majorC            FF       D MajorD
 But y'all know we were made for each other
   G+G
So I find you and hold you down

Me sing, sing

        C majorC             FF  D MajorD
Hey, hey, hey, hey, this is such a shame, you let this
G+G           D MajorD  FF
Good love go to waste, I always keep the
C majorC     N.C.
Top tier, five-star, backseat lovin' in the car

Like make that wood, like make that wood, holly like a boulevard
