I tried to tab this song just by watching the video on YouTube
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlSrfkNxPw) and the low quality made

CAPO ON 4TH
Chords Used: (I personally think that the first G sounds better but in the

[Verse One:]
C Am
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
G Am
And this I know for sure...
C Am
Uh, But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
G Am
Walk out the door...
C Am
Can't stand to fight the feelin'
G Am
Because the thought alone is killing me right now...
