Intro:
F Gm7
     Listen to me
F
Ooh, ooh-ooh
    Gm7
Yeah, yeah

Verse 1:
    F
You said you'd let me live my life, no fetters and no chains
Gm7
I believed your every word, now your tune has changed
F
One day after coffee, you fixed me with a stare
           Gm7
And said, "Where were you on Friday night?"

Tell me who was there

Pre-chorus:
    C
The only problem is, the only problem is
              Bb         C
You're such a part of me

Chorus:
      Dm                  Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, please let me be
    F                          Am     Bb
You pray like a mantis, you're emerald green
      Dm                      Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, the joke's right on me
       F                         Am       Bb
You're clinging like ivy, you're choking a tree
Am Bb
     That's right

Verse 2:
F
We were once so generous, sharing secrets of the heart
Gm7
Now the fruit is turning sour, got a bad taste in my mouth
    F
You can't control the ocean, you can't control the waves
    Gm7
You can't control the shadows, flickering in my cave

Pre-chorus:
               C
'Cause there's just one thing

Well, there's just one thing
                  Bb
They'll only be a half of me
C
 Yeah

Chorus:
      Dm                  Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, please let me be
     F                            Am     Bb
Your eyes full of envy and you're emerald green
      Dm                       Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, your words harsh and mean
    F                          Am         Bb
You pray like a mantis, you're feeding off me

Come on, come on baby, yeah

Hands off, jealous lover, please let me be
    F                          Am     Bb
You pray like a mantis, you're emerald green
      Dm                      Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, the joke's right on me
    F                                   Am        Bb
The pearls 'round your neck, they don't make you a queen
      Dm                  Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, please let me be
     F                              Am       Bb
Your eyes are so cutting, you're my own guillotine
      Dm                       Bb
Hands off, jealous lover, your words harsh and mean
    F                          Am         Bb
You pray like a mantis, you're feeding off me
