[Intro]
G A D A/C# Bm
            Uh
 
[Verse 1]
G
 If they saw what I saw
A                          D
 They would fall the way I fell
                    A/C#         Bm
But they don't know what you want
                         G
And, baby, I would never tell
                        A
If they know what I know
                         D
They would never let you go
         A/C#
So guess what?
        Bm
I ain't ever lettin' you go
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       G
'Cause your lips were made for mine
    A
And my heart would go flatline
   D         A/C#            N.C.
If it wasn't beatin' for you all the time
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                A
So if I get jealous, I can't help it
       D            A/C#             Bm
I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish
                G                   A
It's bad for my mental, but I can't fight it
                D                A/C#
When you'rе out lookin' like you do
              Bm
But you can't hide it, no
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G
Put you in a frame, ooh
                         A
Baby, who can blamе you? Glad your mama made you?
D                     A/C#
Makin' me insane, you cannot be explained, ooh
Bm
You must be an angel
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                         A
 Every time my phone rings
                                  D
I hope that it's you on the other side
                 A/C#      Bm                        G
I wanna tell you everything, everything that's on my mind
                                A
And, I don't want any other guys
                                      D
Takin' my place, girl, I got too much pride
         A/C#        Bm
I know I may be wrong, but I don't wanna be right
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       G
'Cause your lips were made for mine
    A
And my heart would go flatline
   D         A/C#            N.C.
If it wasn't beatin' for you all the time, uh
 
 
[Chorus]
            G                A
So if I get jealous, I can't help it
       D            A/C#             Bm
I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish
                G                   A
It's bad for my mental, but I can't fight it
                D                A/C#

G                  A
Owner of my heart, tattooed your mark
D             A/C#           Bm
There for the whole world to see
           G                 A
You're the owner of my heart and all my scars
D                A/C#           Bm
Baby, you've got such a hold on me, so

So if I get jealous, I can't help it

I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish (Guess I'm selfish)

It's bad for my mental, but I can't fight it

The C#7 sounds more accurate when played as A/C#, in my opinion! Just a suggestion

This sounds good ! But has anyone tried Capo 2 and Amaj7 C#m9 E B6 E6 over and over again ? I play them as 021200, 004424, 001220, 444464, 454644 It gives the tune a little Brazilian feel to it which I think fits well. There's a video of JT playing it acoustic in a way that sounds just like this. I mean, I think : I Can't see his left hand apart from the B6 and E6. I'm looking for a better way to play that E. This regular way is a little dull. Thoughts ?
