Verse 1:
                   D
You said I blacked out and couldn't catch my breath
       D
I fell out all of my planned out steps
           Bm                                           A
Now I just gotta get it back, gotta get it back before it's gone
                    D
Ded said to play it cool, you wanna make 'em sweat
        D
Make the rules, don't ever follow them
           Bm                                                A
Now I just gotta get it back, got to get you back before you're gone
 
Pre-Chorus:
                G                 D
Now when you're counting minutes, set a timer
G                D
Avoid combustion or backfire
       G               D                          E
'Cause you're the only one who picks what happens next
 
Verse 2:
                    D
You say you didn't care and I know that it was lie
             D
'Cause you've cared, I think we both really tried
            Bm                                          A
Now we just gotta get it back gotta get it back before it's gone
                  D
And I want you to call, I know you probably won't
        D
Should I call? I had to break my phone
         Bm                                                A
Oh, I'll never get you back, never get you back before you're gone
 
Pre-Chorus:
              G                 D
And when your heart is beating, pinch your finger
   G                   D
Distract yourself from thoughts that linger
       G               D                           E
'Cause you're the only one that picks what happens next
 
Chorus:
            D                    A
And tell me why it has to be so damn complicated
    E                       G
I'm thinking something so why shouldn't I say it?
D                    A
All these rules seem so xxxxin' dated
E                         G
I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I played it
D   A  E
Yeah
G               D  A  E  G
 Yeah, I played it
 
Verse 2:
                    D
I think that you're scared of what it possibly means
        D
That I'm not, what could I have up my sleeve?
    Bm
But please don't go away, please don't go away
            A
Just come love me
                   D
And I know I'm not shy, sometimes that scares people off
      D
But I try to get the things that I want
Bm
Please don't go away, please don't go away
            A
Just come love me-e-e-e
 
Refrain:
              G                D
And when your feet are tapping drink a milkshake
G              D
Give your body somewhat of a break
       G                 D               E
'Cause you're the only one you need to impress
 
Chorus:
            D                    A
And tell me why it has to be so damn complicated
    E                       G
I'm thinking something so why shouldn't I say it?
D                    A
All these rules seem so xxxxin' dated
E                         G
I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I play it
D   A  E
Yeah
            G            D  A  E  G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I play it
