• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse 1:
               Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Short of breath
A glitter mess
  Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
We catch some quiet out on Church Street
              Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
She's my wings
Pulling all the strings
 Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Soon he'll be dancing next to me

Pre-Chorus 1:
             Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
But when she walks right in he forgets me all together
  Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
I watch him winning her over
       Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
And it starts to sting but not how I expected
       Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
With a shock I'm starting to sober

Chorus:
Em              D
I don't mean to scare ya
      Bm7      Cmaj7
Don't wanna embarrass myself
Em       D           Am7
I wasn't part of the plan
Em                D
But now I think I need ya
Em          D           Am7
And I wanna cut out the middle man

Verse 2:
        Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Another week
You're talking sweet
Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
I gave my blessing out on Church Street
            Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
But pretty soon
His true colours bloom
Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Oh how history repeats

Pre-Chorus 2:
         Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
When she walks right in, yеah, she tells me all about it
Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Keeps on scrеwing her over
     Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
And I'm listening but my minds a little clouded
          Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7
While she rests her head on my shoulder

Chorus:
Em              D
I don't mean to scare ya
      Bm7      Cmaj7
Don't wanna embarrass myself
Em       D           Am7
I wasn't part of the plan
Em                D
But now I think I need ya
Em          D           Am7
And I wanna cut out the middle man
