[Verse 1]
You said I blacked Dout and couldn't catch my breath
I fell Dout all of my planned out steps
Now I just Bmgotta get it back, gotta get it back before iAt's gone
Ded said to play it Dcool, you wanna make 'em sweat
Make the Drules, don't ever follow them
Now I just Bmgotta get it back, got to get you back before you'Are gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when you're Gcounting minutes, Dset a timer
GAvoid combustion Dor backfire
'Cause Gyou're the only Done who picks what happens Enext
[Verse 2]
You say you didn't cDare and I know that it was lie
'Cause you've Dcared, I think we both really tried
Now we just Bmgotta get it back gotta get it back before iAt's gone
And I want you to Dcall, I know you probably won't
Should I Dcall? I had to break my phone
Oh, I'll Bmnever get you back, never get you back before you'Are gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And when your Gheart is beating, Dpinch your finger
DisGtract yourself from Dthoughts that linger
'Cause Gyou're the only Done that picks what happens Enext
[Chorus]
And tell me Dwhy it has to be so dAamn complicated
I'm Ethinking something so whGy shouldn't I say it?
DAll these rules seem Aso fuckin' dated
EI'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeGah, the game, I played it
DYeahA  E  
 GYeah, I played DitA  E  G  
[Verse 2]
I think that you're Dscared of what it possibly means
That I'm Dnot, what could I have up my sleeve?
But Bmplease don't go away, please don't go away
Just come loAve me
And I know I'm not Dshy, sometimes that scares people off
But I Dtry to get the things that I want
BmPlease don't go away, please don't go away
Just come loAve me-e-e-e
[Refrain]
And when your Gfeet are tapping Ddrink a milkshake
GGive your body Dsomewhat of a break
'Cause Gyou're the only onDe you need to imEpress
[Chorus]
And tell me Dwhy it has to be so dAamn complicated
I'm Ethinking something so whGy shouldn't I say it?
DAll these rules seem Aso fuckin' dated
EI'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeGah, the game, I play it
DYeahA  E  
Yeah, yeah, Gyeah, I play DitA  E  G
