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 fuckin' 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 fuckin' 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
