Tell me if you think it is wrong :)
The adaptable strum is DDD DUUDD spread over two chords 
Capo on second fret
       G Em7Cadd9D
Intro: , , , 
  G                   Em7
I got a little thing I call self control
  Cadd9
'Cause I get a little crazy 
        D
When I let too much go
G                       Em7
Love is a little messy and you are too
Cadd9                  D
Right now I’m scared of both of you
  G                      Em7
I laugh and I play and I wasn’t gonna stray
Cadd9                     D
Swore I’d never let a man in my way
Cadd9                     D
You’re the last thing I needed today
            Em7
And I don’t know 
             Cadd9
Where I lost control
     G                  D
And couldn’t take it any longer
         Em7               Cadd9
Must have been somewhere between
            G                   D
Your smile and the way you say my name
       Em7           Cadd9
I can’t win so I give in 
             G                  D
The more I fight it just get’s stronger
             Cadd9                 D
You’re an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction

G
Gone and spilled my coffee
Em7
Tryna get to the phone
Cadd9
'Cause it might be you
D
You just never know
G
Can’t talk to my friends 
Em7
Without you coming up
Cadd9
It’s even kind of cute
D
The way you cuss
G
I wrote your name down
Em7
A hundred thousand times
Cadd9
'Cause it looks so good
D
Right next to mine
Cadd9                         D
You’re the last thing I needed tonight
  Em7
And I don’t know

Where I lost control

The more I fight it just get’s stronger
             Cadd9                 D
You’re an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction
Cadd9
I’m acting like a girl
D
With nothing to lose
Cadd9
When did I stop caring
D
About anything but you
  Em7
And I don’t know 
             Cadd9
Where I lost control
     G                  D
And couldn’t take it any longer
