BRENDAN BENSON - WHAT
From the EXCELLENT Lapalco.
Am F D E
What are you trying to do to me, girl?
Am F D E
I closed my eyes, I don't want to see, girl
Am F D E
I don't want to hear about you and him, girl
Am F D G
I just want to know if it's love that you're in, girl.
C E F G
'Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl
C E F G#
And he's got to be delirious if he thinks he can win
C E F
With a not-so-pretty face (Not-so-pretty face)
C E F
He's come to take my place (Come to take my place)
G E
She's easily amused
Am F D G E
And I know 'cause she fell for the same shit I once used...
Am F D E
The things you say and the things you do, girl
Am F D E
I've added them up and they don't compute, girl
Am F D E
I give you an inch and you take a mile, girl
Am F D E
You couldn't say no 'cause it ain't your style, girl, girl
C E F G
But it's obvious to me that he thinks he's gonna score
C E F Fm
But it's not the case, you say you're only friends and nothing more
C E F
But it makes perfect sense
C E F
And I speak from experience
G E
She's easy to persuade
Am F D G A
She's a piece of cake and he thinks he's got her made
D E A
You said goodbye to him a long, long time ago
D E A
You changed your mind, I guess But you never let me know
D E F G D E
You just keep me guessing, always guessing wrong... always wrong
SOLO
Am F D E x4
C E F G
'Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl
C E F G#
And he's got to be delirious if he thinks he can win
C E F
With a not-so-pretty face (Not-so-pretty face)
C E F G
And a poorly thrown ceramic vase
C E F
It makes perfect sense
C E F
And I speak from experience
G E
She's easily confused...
Am F D
I should know, 'cause she fell for the same tricks
Am F D
I should know, 'cause she laughed at the same jokes
Am F D E Am
I should know, 'cause she fell for the same tricks I once used.
