[Verse 1]
AmFound the letter that you Cwrote
AmWas in the pocket of my Ccoat
AmAin't it funny how, Gonly thing that's left of you Emnow
AmSaid I was perfect, then you Cwalked
And AmI became an afterCthought, oh oh
Now AmI'm alone again, Gfeel so aliEmen
You know I G#waited for you, waited for you
Waited too Cmlong
[Chorus]
That's the thing about Alove
The thing about Clove
AJust when you think you're in conFtrol
AmIt pulls you in and then it Glets you Ego
That's the thing about Alove
The thing about Clove
AYou don't always get it Fback
So tell me Ahow I'm gonna Glive like Ethat (live like that)
[Verse 2]
AmDoesn't matter what I Cdo (doesn't matter what I do)
AmAll I think about is Cyou, oh oh
AmThere's a hurricane Gevery time I hear your Emname (every time I hear your name)
AmNow I'm wide awake the Cwhole night
AmThinking what I didn't Cdo right
AmNow I realise we Gnever stood a Emchance (we never stood a chance)
[Chorus]
That's the thing about Alove, oh
The thing about Clove
AJust when you think you're in conFtrol
AmIt pulls you in and then it Glets you Ego
That's the thing about Alove
The thing about Clove
AYou don't always get it Fback
So tell me Ahow I'm gonna Glive like Ethat (live like that)
[Bridge]
