[Intro] E, F#m, A X2
ESmoke alarm went F#moff at 9A
EI woke up, wiped the sleep ouF#mt of my eyesA
She lEeft a note 'I'll be F#mback in 5'A
Well, EI'm still waiting fF#mor that moment to arArive,
C#mI was told to put mAy job in front of youB
C#mBut it won't Ahold me lBike you do
But I do it for the Elove
Waiting on the gold rF#mush
Keep it on the edgeA
Smoking on a roll up
When I see my Efriends
All they say is F#mhold up
And remember the Atime
When we were in schoolE
Listening to growF#mn ups
Didn't learn a thinAg
But then again you know what
You know how to Esing
But you don't know F#manything
AOther than that
So maybe you should learn to Elove her
F#mLike, like Athe way
Maybe you should learn to loEve her
F#mLike, like tAhe way
Maybe you should learn to loEve her
F#mLike, like thAe way
And maybe you should learn to lEove her
F#mLike, like the Away
You want to be loved
EI never toF#mld her that I likedA
The waEy she daF#mnces slightly out Aof time
EAnd pretends sF#mhe knows the wordsA
To a song she's never heard
EBut I F#mtell her all the timeA
C#mI was told to Aput my job in frBont of you
C#mBut it won't Ahold me like Byou do
But I do it for the Elove
Waiting on the gold ruF#msh
Keep it on the Aedge
Smoking on a roll up
When I see my friendsE
All they say is hold F#mup
And remember the Atime
When we were in schoolE
Listening to grown F#mups
Didn't learn a Athing
But then again you know what
You know how to singE
But you don't F#mknow anything
AOther than that
So maybe you should learn to love herE
F#mLike, like Athe way
Maybe you should learn to love herE
F#mLike, like tAhe way
Maybe you should learn to love herE
F#mLike, like Athe way
And maybe you should learn to love herE
F#mLike, like tAhe way
You want to be loved
