[Intro] E, F#m, A X2
E F#m A
Smoke alarm went off at 9
E F#m A
I woke up, wiped the sleep out of my eyes
E F#m A
She left a note 'I'll be back in 5'
E F#m A
Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive,
C#m A B
I was told to put my job in front of you
C#m A B
But it won't hold me like you do
E
But I do it for the love
F#m
Waiting on the gold rush
A
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
E
When I see my friends
F#m
All they say is hold up
A
And remember the time
E
When we were in school
F#m
Listening to grown ups
A
Didn't learn a thing
But then again you know what
E
You know how to sing
F#m
But you don't know anything
A
Other than that
E
So maybe you should learn to love her
F#m A
Like, like the way
E
Maybe you should learn to love her
F#m A
Like, like the way
E
Maybe you should learn to love her
F#m A
Like, like the way
E

F#m A
Like, like the way
You want to be loved
E F#m A
I never told her that I liked
E F#m A
The way she dances slightly out of time
E F#m A
And pretends she knows the words
To a song she's never heard
E F#m A
But I tell her all the time
C#m A B
I was told to put my job in front of you
C#m A B
But it won't hold me like you do
E
But I do it for the love
F#m
Waiting on the gold rush
A
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
E
When I see my friends
