Got to write a cAlassic
Got to write it in an C#mattic
Babe, I'm an Daddict now
An addict for your BmloveE7sus  
I was a stray boyA  
And you was my beC#mst toy
Found it easy to Dannoy you
But you were different from tBmhe rest
And I loved you all the wrAong ways
Now listen to C#mme say
If it changeDd to another way
Would the difference make iBmt
Would it be a classic
I gotta send it right AawaE7(sus)y
Got to write a cAlassic (so down, and I'm out of control without you)
Got to write it in aC#mn attic (my heart can't flow, there's no living without you)
Baby, I'm an Daddict now (deep down I know, you're not hearing a word I say)
An addict for your Bmlove E7(sus)(gotta write it down, and send it right away)
[Bridge]
C#mNow I'm living F#m7my life
One day at a Bmtime
Since losing youGM7r love
I've been losing my mindF#m7  
What more can I seC#me
The future so clE7susear
AF#susnd it's not what I mean
I meA7(sus)an it's not what it seems
I juDst keep lE7susiving for dreams
