[VERSE 1]
I was Gmhangin' next to Bbyou
By a Ebthread from so highCm  
We were Gmheaven and the Bbmoon
In the Ebcenter of my eyeCm  
And now it Gmshines on Bbyou
And I would Ebkiss your crownCm  
And then Gmout of the Bbblue
You would Ebcut me down, cut me Cmdown
[PRE-CHORUS]
But when you Gmhung up the phone and you Bbblocked my number
CmI was alone in the Ebrain and thunder
GmI should have known when you Bbsent me under
CmI'm on my own and it made me wonder
[CHORUS]
GmWhat do you do when a Fman don't love you?
DmHe takes the sun from the Ebsky above you
GmHow do you fix the damage? CmHow do you break the habit?
EbI never knew you could Dmbe so savage
    GmSo savage
C5I never knew you could D5be so...
[VERSE 2]
So just Gmsay it like you Bbmean it
Won't you Ebscream it out like it's reCmligion
You were the Gmpriest and the Bbprophet
You were my Ebscripture and my coCmnviction
[PRE-CHORUS]
But when you Gmhung up the phone and you Bbblocked my number
CmI was alone in the Ebrain and thunder
I Gmshould have known by the Bbflame I'm under
CmI'm on my own and it made me wonder
[CHORUS]
GmWhat do you do when a Fman don't love you?
DmHe takes the sun from the Ebsky above you
GmHow do you fix the damage? CmHow do you break the habit?
EbI never knew you could Dmbe so savage
   GmSo savage
CI never knew you could Dmbe so savage
  GmSo savageC  Dm  
[BRIDGE]
Oh in a Ebflash flood of F6cruelty
You Bbwashed the ground out from under me
And Eboh you were F6through with me
I was Gmswept away
[CHORUS]
GmWhat do you do when a Fman don't love you?
DmHe takes the sun from the Ebsky above you
GmHow do you fix the damage? CmHow do you break the habit?
EbI never knew you could Dmbe so savage
   GmYou could Fbe so savageDm  
You could Ebbe so savage
   Gm  CmSo savage
EbI never knew you could Dmbe so savage
