C
Takes four days to get to like me
Am
But two to want to leave

But the part that really gets me
Am
Are all the moments in between

Now, I lie to get a little

And laugh at every little thing

She's high on information

But, now, I'm low on self-esteem

So, I'm going to try (try)

C
I'm a hundred kinds of crazy
Am
But I only want to find
F Am
One sweet little angel who's going to let me speak my mind

F
She's making her decision
Am
But, now, I'm losing all my ground

Don't go and blow it, you do every single time
