[Verse 1]
IGt sounds like a lie when you say it
SDounds like a lie cause it is
EmIt don't matter how you try to play it
CIt don't matter which way it spins
GIt ain't rocket science, Dbaby
EmIt ain't arithmetic
[Chorus]
GWhen you love someone
DWhen you really love someone
EmYou don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car
CRoll in the dark and go to far with someone
GWhen you love someone
[Verse 2]
GWell, I'm coming down off a promise
DYou're coming down off a buzz
EmWhether it's love or it's whiskey
CWell, I guess we've both sobered up
GLet's just go ahead and call this thing what it was

EmYou don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car
CRoll in the dark and go to far with someone
GWhen you love someone

It don't matter which way it spins

G D

It ain't rocket science, baby

It ain't arithmetic

[Chorus]

When you love someone

When you really love someone

You don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car

Roll in the dark and go to far with someone

When you love someone

[Verse 2]

Well, I'm coming down off a promise

You're coming down off a buzz

Whether it's love or it's whiskey

Well, I guess we've both sobered up

Let's just go ahead and call this thing what it was

[Chorus]

When you love someone

When you really love someone

You don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car

Roll in the dark and go to far with someone

When you love someone

[Bridge]

Ooh, don't wanna hear you're sorry

Ooh, baby, don't waste your breath

Cause it sounds like a lie when you say it

It sounds like a lie cause it is

[Chorus]

When you love someone

When you really love someone

You don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car

Roll in the dark and go to far with someone

[Chorus]

When you love someone

If you really love someone

You don't get drunk at a bar, jump in the car

Roll in the dark and go to far with someone

[Outro]

Just break my heart with someone

When you love someone
