[Intro]
D G Bm G (x2)
[Verse]
D G Bm G D G Bm G
I know it's a little old-fashioned, holding hands, now start your romancin'
D G Bm G
Show me all your flaws, Show me your bear claws
D G Bm G
Go rip your heart out tonight.
A G
You don't have to be cool to make me shiver,
A G
Look in my eyes, can I make this any clearer?
[Chorus]
Em D Bm A
Just a late-night girl, calling through a phone,
Em D Bm A
She never really loved you so just leave her alone,
Em D Bm A
your mama says it's over when you come through the door
G A
Saying "that's enough of you now won't you shut your mouth"
D G Bm G
...Ey! ...Oh! I'll never let you go,
D G Bm G
...Ey! ...Oh! I'll never let you go,
[Verse]
D G Bm G
You say goodbye as if you're leaving on a plane,
D G Bm G
You've seen the clouds and how the shapes are so strange,
D G Bm G
But not a boy in the backseat, sitting in the backseat, Tryin' to make sense of it all.
D G Bm G
Saying "we were such a good thing, we were such a good thing, how could you let this fall?"
A G
Take all my money and meet me on the sidewalk,
A G
If you don't show then I'll know.
[Chorus]
