[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A                     E
 I seen my old lady's boyfriend
A                           E
 He don't look nothing like me
A                     E
 Cept for a bit of confusion
A                      E
 Same kind she laid on me
[Chorus]
D               E                   A
 You don't know what you're getting into
D            E         A
 She's gonna tear you apart
D             E           A
 You're gonna places I've been to
D       E          A
 Take a look at my heart
G       A          D
 Take a look at my heart
[Verse 2]
A                            E
 You're probably sending her flowers
A                          E
 And talking to her on the phone
A                      E
 You're gonna get it together
A                       E
 And find yourself all alone 
[Chorus]
D               E                   A
 You don't know what you're getting into
D            E         A
 She's gonna tear you apart
D             E           A
 You're gonna places I've been to
D       E          A
 Take a look at my heart
G       A          D
 Take a look at my heart
[Bridge]

Do you think you can be her lover
    D
And not become her fool
F#                             G               E
Do you think that you are the exception to the rule
[Verse 3]
A                          E
 You're gonna hate all her girlfriends
A                         E
 And everything that they say
A                    E
 You ask me how do I know this
A                       E
 They come around every day 
[Chorus]
D               E                   A
 You don't know what you're getting into
D            E         A
 She's gonna tear you apart
D             E           A
 You're gonna places I've been to
D       E          A
 Take a look at my heart
G       A          D
 Take a look at my heart
