[Em]I’m sure that he could give you everything

Pit of your [Am]stomach you’re still so [Bm]sad. Oh

But if you [C]showed up at my door, I could [Am]give you so much [B]more. Oh!

[Em]You tell me that I’m [Am]crazy, [C]but you’re the one who [Bm]makes me this way
[C]You call me so [Am]impulsive, [B]but that’s what makes us so explosive
