Verse 1
A6 A6 
 
G6 G6 
 
I will never understand you
F#m7 F#m7 
 
G6 G6 
 
When   will I stop trying
A6 A6 
 
I mean, 'cause it's just
G6 G6 
 
not how I planned to
F#m7 F#m7 
 
G6 G6 
 
Spend  my time 'til dying, I mean

Verse 2
A6 A6 
 
Champagne, California on the brain
G6 G6 
 
She's got an appetite for no refrains
F#m7 F#m7 
 
Just verses, she curses as blood vessels
G6 G6 
 
burst in defiance
She made an alliance
A6 A6 
 
to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good
G6 G6 
 
So  I treat her right as any other player would
F#m7 F#m7 
 
G6 G6 
 
Lightly, then she wants to fight me

Too bad,     that's just too      bad
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
I        can't be around to pick up
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
your     bags and your debts
She wants to love me with threats
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
I'm not      taking chances, I'm hedging my bets
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
With other    girls, not providing pearls
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
I'm free,    free

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
I know loving   me isn't easy
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
I'm home     and next thing I'm leaving
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
But when I look     at you
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
it's like praying with my eyes
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
I follow   you to sleep so I will
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
Find     your dream place
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
and hey, I'm not an an       gel
But girl you make me feel like
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
I know     one, one

Tightly then she wants to fight me
