Someone had to tab this song!!!
It isn't 100% correct because the timing is strange on this song,
and so are the chords, but if you just play along to it, it works.
He adds a F or F# root to the Amaj7 I think.
A Amaj7
He always gets so mad things you laugh at
Dm A
"Don't get so worked up," you'd say
A Amaj7
But on the back deck you admit
Dm
That you haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway
E A
And so I say, "That could change"
Bm E
I noticed how you waste no time
A Dm7
Making your way across the room
Bm E A Amaj7
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you
Bm E
And it isn't no coincidence
A Dm7
Where you finally choose to stand
Bm E A
I know soon you will be leaving your man
A Amaj7 Dm A x2
A Amaj7
It's a sweet smile and then a denial
Dm A
Hey, you are just trying to be nice
A Amaj7 Dm
But there is a meaning to every fleeting action
A
You unconsciously decide
E
The clocks, they chime
A
Now it's time
Bm E
I know you try and play it cool
A Dm7
But there are some thoughts you just can't hide
Bm E A Amaj7
Only in your closest friends do you confide
Bm E
The way you say you'll be seeing me
A Dm7
Oh, like it's so offhand
Bm E A
I guess soon you will be leaving your man
A Amaj7 Dm A x2
Bm E
You stare at me so boldly now
A Dm7
You have no lack of confidence
Bm E A Amaj7
It's just those lessons of subtlety you missed
Bm E
I know you dream of saving me
A Dm7
Like I'm some plane that you could land
Bm E A
But when you fly you'll be leaving your man
Like I said, the timing is weird. Just play along to it.
Maybe switch up the chords, watch the video, I don't know.
