[Part 1]
[Chorus]
EI wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and F#add11I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
EI wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and F#add11I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
(I think I'm losing you)
[Verse 1]
ESwitchblade 'round my neck, don't get close to me
F#add11Ask about your life, still in the nose-bleeds?
ELaying in your bed, call it intimacy
F#add11Wish I could get past the security
EWonder why I wake up living in a made-up
F#add11Dream of you and I, together there
EBaby, wake the fuck up, time for you to grow up
F#add11Don't you know that life is rarely ever fair?
[Chorus]
EI wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and F#add11I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
EI wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and F#add11I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
[Verse 2]
ETell you how I feel, I keep it real clean
Lock F#add11hanging 'round my neck, you don't get a key
E5Come a little closer, I'll show you what I mean
F#add11Oh, boy, no, it's all for me
EIce cold, baby, I'm ice cold
F#add11You're the only one who could make me fold
EIce cold, baby, I'm ice cold
F#add11You're the only one who could make me fold
[Chorus]
EI wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and F#add11I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
