[Verse 1]
 DmLet me tell you about a little situation
It's been tDmesting my patience
Man she was kCeeping me uGp all night
 DmCause you only get so far reading faces
We were oDmff to the races
and I thCought to myself G"hold tight"
 DmYou see there was just one complication
She was aDmlready taken
and what was Cso wrong fGelt so right
 DmShe said "no need for looking over your shoulder
when you could jDmust come over
and we can wCork this oGut just fine"
[Chorus]
   DmI don't knCow what you want from me
   GSo careless in my company
   DmOh if aCll that you say is true
   Gthere'll be no getting over you
   DmSo beat down pClaying by your rules
   GIf you're a joker then I'm a fool
   DmI guess there's Cno catching up to youG

[Verse 1]

Let me tell you about a little situation

It's been testing my patience

C G

Man she was keeping me up all night

Cause you only get so far reading faces

We were off to the races

C G

and I thought to myself "hold tight"

You see there was just one complication

She was already taken

C G

and what was so wrong felt so right

She said "no need for looking over your shoulder

when you could just come over

C G

and we can work this out just fine"

[Chorus]

Dm C

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Dm C

Oh if all that you say is true

there'll be no getting over you

Dm C

So beat down playing by your rules

If you're a joker then I'm a fool

Dm C G

I guess there's no catching up to you

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

don't lie, you're tearing me up

Cause you've got, all my attention

Dm C G

I won't lie, you're tearing me up

I'm trying to tell your intention

Dm C G

when you lie, you're tearing me up

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

you won't mind, you're tearing me up

Dm C G

[Verse 2]

It all started with a simple conversation

Dm C G

It was on the weekend and she was talking me up all night

Kept asking if I was only faking

She was there for taking

C G

Showing me that she was all mine

She told me she lived just around the corner

I wanted to know her

C G

Yeah she was making me lose my mind

I didn't know quite what I was chasing

She left my heart racing

C G

And all between it was just one night

[Chorus]

Dm C

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Dm C

Oh if all that you say is true

there'll be no getting over you

Dm C

So beat down playing by your rules

If you're a joker then I'm a fool

Dm C G

I guess there's no catching up to you

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

don't lie, you're tearing me up

Cause you've got, all my attention

Dm C G

I won't lie, you're tearing me up

I'm trying to tell your intention

Dm C G

when you lie, you're tearing me up

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

you won't mind, you're tearing me up

Dm C

I don't know what you want from me

So careless in my company

Dm C

Oh if all that you say is true

there'll be no getting over you

Dm C

So beat down playing by your rules

If you're a joker then I'm a fool

Dm C G

I guess there's no catching up to you

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

don't lie, you're tearing me up

Cause you've got, all my attention

Dm C G

I won't lie, you're tearing me up

I'm trying to tell your intention

Dm C G

when you lie, you're tearing me up

If you don't want my affection

Dm C G

you won't mind, you're tearing me up
