Verse 1: Jorja Smith:
G minorGm F6F6
Why am I gonna apologize?
C minorCm Dmaj
What have I even done?
G minorGm F6F6
Why you acting like you lost the crown
C minorCm Dmaj
If you were never wearing one?
G minorGm F6F6
Falling ever deeper, dealing cards now
C minorCm Dmaj
Now you can't recognize yourself on the deck
G minorGm F6F6
I thought I was your queen of hearts
C minorCm Dmaj
But all the aces stole the check

Checkmate 'til you stole me away
Verse 2: Jorja Smith:
G minorGm F6F6
Cursing words, am I a pauper now?
C minorCm Dmaj
Even though all my shoes do fit
G minorGm F6F6
Won't even let me leave the house past 12
C minorCm Dmaj
I ain't no fairytale chick
G minorGm F6F6
Happy endings cloud your head now
C minorCm Dmaj
You have put your expectations too high
G minorGm F6F6
Sit on the bed, tears running down our eyes
C minorCm Dmaj
Once upon a time, I wonder why

Verse 3: Maverick Sabre:
G minorGm
Darling hold on a second
F6F6
You know that your eyes and your smile are a weapon
C minorCm
Now come here, why won't you just listen?
Dmaj
You tell me I'm hurting your arm with my grip
G minorGm
See now trust me, but never trust women
F6F6
Yeah they're perfect, I'm at home stressed
C minorCm
With this skunk spliff
Dmaj
When I know that you're out on the road being faithless
Does it make sense?
G minorGm
And my insecurities don't pay rent
F6F6
But they're living with me
C minorCm
And this is a disease
Dmaj
We live in a man's world so what you expect me to be?
G minorGm
Now, now, now
F6F6
Whether it's the shit sex or this limp dick
C minorCm
My reflection keeps telling me sick things
You know that I'm ugly
Dmaj
I hope that you want me, I'll make sure you love me

G minorGm F6F6
Said I've never been a prince, no, no
C minorCm Dmaj
And I tried to be a king, but I let you down, my queen
