[Verse 1]
EbI hope that you don't think I'm rude
CmBut I wanna make out with you
AbAnd I'm a little awkward, sure
BbBut I could touch my face to yours, oh
EbAnd no one ever called me smooth
CmBut I just wanna see the grooves
AbBetween your hands, your teeth, oh
BbTell me, do you think about me?
[Pre-Chorus]
EbI just wanna kiss you
GmAnd even if I miss you
CmAt least I'll know what it's like to have held your Abhand, Gmoh!
AbNo-o, Bbhey!
[Chorus]
EbBad ideas, ay (oh!)
GmI know where they leCmad (hey, oh!)
But I got too many to Absleep
And I can't gGmet enough, no
AbI wanna kiss you sBbtanding up
EbOh, no!
GmAnd If tomorrow makes me Cmlow (oh!)
Will it be worth it just to Abknow?
'Cause I can't gGmet enough, no
AbI wanna kiss you sBbtanding up
EbO-ohGm!Cm  
Hey!
[Verse 2]
EbI don't know what compels me
CmTo do the very thing that fells me
AbI wake up, still high on you
BbBut by the night, I'm crashing through
[Pre-Chorus]
EbSo why'd I wanna kiss you
GmEven though I miss you
CmGuess I just wanted to know
What it would feel Ablike, oh!
GmNo-Abo, Bbhey!
[Chorus]
EbBad ideas, ay (oh!)
GmI know where they leCmad (hey, oh!)
But I got too many to Absleep
And I can't gGmet enough, no
AbI wanna kiss you sBbtanding up
EbOh, no!
GmAnd If tomorrow makes me Cmlow (oh!)
Will it be worth it just to Abknow?
'Cause I can't gGmet enough, no
AbI wanna kiss you sBbtanding up
EbOh!Gm  Cm  
[Bridge]
EbSinging's a bad look on me
GmAnd if I'm talking, honestly
CmIt takes everything I got not to text, and
AbI just want a kiss to geGmt me through
Ab'Cause now all my bedsheets
BbSmell like you, so
[Pre-Chorus]
EbIf you think you miss me
GmCome on back and kiss me
CmI just gotta know what you and I would feel like
AbOh!Gm

[Verse 1]

I hope that you don't think I'm rude

But I wanna make out with you

And I'm a little awkward, sure

But I could touch my face to yours, oh

And no one ever called me smooth

But I just wanna see the grooves

Between your hands, your teeth, oh

Tell me, do you think about me?

[Pre-Chorus]

I just wanna kiss you

And even if I miss you

Cm Ab Gm

At least I'll know what it's like to have held your hand, oh!

Ab Bb

No-o, hey!

[Chorus]

Bad ideas, ay (oh!)

Gm Cm

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

And I can't get enough, no

Ab Bb

I wanna kiss you standing up

Oh, no!

Gm Cm

And If tomorrow makes me low (oh!)

Will it be worth it just to know?

'Cause I can't get enough, no

Ab Bb

I wanna kiss you standing up

Eb Gm Cm

O-oh!

Hey!

[Verse 2]

I don't know what compels me

To do the very thing that fells me

I wake up, still high on you

But by the night, I'm crashing through

[Pre-Chorus]

So why'd I wanna kiss you

Even though I miss you

Guess I just wanted to know

What it would feel like, oh!

No-o, hey!

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

Oh!

[Bridge]

Singing's a bad look on me

And if I'm talking, honestly

It takes everything I got not to text, and

I just want a kiss to get me through

'Cause now all my bedsheets

Smell like you, so

[Pre-Chorus]

If you think you miss me

Come on back and kiss me

I just gotta know what you and I would feel like

Ab Gm

Oh!

No-o, hey!

Yikes

[Chorus]

Bad ideas, ay (oh!)

Gm Cm

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

And I can't get enough, no

Ab Bb

I wanna kiss you standing up

Oh, no!

Gm Cm

And If tomorrow makes me low (oh!)

Will it be worth it just to know?

'Cause I can't get enough, no

Ab Bb

I wanna kiss you standing up, oh

Hey!
