Capo 7
[Intro]
Em Am
[Verse]
Em
Sweet sweet hold you gently have over me
           Am
Caught me with your eyes and lips like sweet honey
    Em
Too bad I'll never know how sweet the honey tastes
           Am                 D7
Cause the average girl simply won that race
             Em
Well that embrace you kept on giving me
        Am
Left me hanging wanting more till you broke free
     Em
Bet shes sweet but not as sweet as I could've been
           Am                    D7
girls like her come and go like the boring wind
[Chorus]
            Am
But I'm the type that stays 
                                     Em
with your heart and my heart in many different ways
                            Am                                                Em
I call you making sure that you're alright in the day or in the middle of the night
                    Am
sorry if that isn't good enough
                       Em
confusion has become a little rough
                            Am
and I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
                                Em
and run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
                        Am                 D7                    Em
but for now ill let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home
[Verse]
Em
Hands so purple, 
from the knuckle aches,
it's 'cause they, 
Am
create fragile hearts to break. 
      Em
But a player, soon will see that 
his karma goes bad,
         Am
when the girl that he wants,
     D7
stabs him in the back
[Chorus]
            Am
But I'm the type that stays 
                                     Em
with your heart and my heart in many different ways
                            Am                                                Em
I call you making sure that you're alright in the day or in the middle of the night
                    Am
sorry if that isn't good enough
                       Em
confusion has become a little rough
                            Am
and I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
                                Em
and run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
                        Am                 D7                   Em
but for now ill let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home
