Esus 022200
STANDARD TUNING w/
CAPO ON 1
(*= one strum)
Intro-
                   022200
   [x02110]        
Am   Am#7   Gm   F   Esus  E
            Am               Am#7
How soon do we forget how we felt
              Gm
Dealing with emotions that never left
                 F                               Esus E
Playing with the hand that we were dealt in this game
              Am                Am#7
Maybe I'm the sinner, and not a saint
              Gm
Gotta stop pretending what we ain't
                F                             Esus E
Why we pointing fingers anyway? We're all the same
Am
Break up, make up
Am#7           Gm
Total waste of time
                          F
Can we please make up our minds?
                           Esus E
And stop acting like we're blind
                   Am
Cause if the water dries up
        Am#7
And the moon stops shining
Gm
Stars fall, and the world goes blind boy
F                                   Esus     E
You know I'll be savin' my love for you, for you
      Am         Am#7         Gm
Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
       F          Esus  E
But we hold on, hold on
           Am     Am#7        Gm
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
       F          Esus  E
But we hold on, hold on
[Big Sean]
        Am                  Am#7
I guess times wasting, tick-tocking lip locking
Gm
How can we keep the feelings fresh how do we zip lock them
          F
Wear your heart up on your sleeves so watch for pickpockets
  Esus                              E
I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it
     Am                                  Am#7
Hold up, hold love, I know love can be a beach with no shore
Gm
I done count to ten lost my temper and went back to four
       F
I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need
        Esus                            E
I had a dream we branched out started a family tree
    Am                        Am#7
And I feel like everything we do is overdue
          Gm
You asked why I love your mom so much 'cause she's an older you
       F
I wish you were happy I guess that's the one thing I should be providing
      Esus                            E
Ain't no number twos we both ones and ones the oddest
Am                       Am#7
Couple only human except you, you a goddess
     Gm
Only lying to you when I lie you down, just being honest
         F
When you start as friends it's hard to say you're never going back
       Esus                             E
If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had
Am
Break up, make up
Am#7           Gm
Total waste of time
                          F
Can we please make up our minds?
                           Esus E
And stop acting like we're blind
                   Am
Cause if the water dries up
        Am#7
And the moon stops shining
Gm
Stars fall, and the world goes blind boy
F                                   Esus     E
You know I'll be savin' my love for you, for you
      Am         Am#7         Gm
Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
       F          Esus  E
But we hold on, hold on
           Am     Am#7        Gm
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
       F          Esus  E
But we hold on, hold on
Am  Am#7    Gm      Am     F
You're, you're, you're you're, mmm
                        Esus     E
I be savin' my love for you, for you
