I don't care if you never come home
C
I don't mind if you just
        G
keep on rollin' away on a distant sea
         D                                 G
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me
 
    G
The cause of commotion when you come to town
    C
You give them  a smile and they melt
       G
Having love as a friend is all good and fine
      D                                   G
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

C                G/B
I got a problem, can you relate?
Am            G

How could we know that the promises end

I try to love you for years upon years

You refuse to take for real
     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see
    D                                G
I'd still love you if you just liked me
