[Verse 1]
D
   Nice to meet you, where you
been?
I could show you incredible things
Bm
   Magic, madness, heaven sent
Saw you there and I thought
G
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
 A
Love's a game, want to play?
 
D
   New money, suit & tie
I can read you like a magazine
Bm
   Ain't it funny, rumors, lies?
                            G
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one
ends
 A
Grab your passport and my hand
A*                               --(palm mute)
I can make the bad guys good for
a weekend
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D
   So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
Bm
   You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
G
   Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
A
   Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
 
[Chorus]
D
   Cause we're young and we're
reckless
We'll take this way too far
Bm
   It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
G
   Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
A
   But I've got a blank space baby
 
A*   --(palm mute)
    And I'll write your name
 
[Verse 2]
D
   Cherry lips, crystal scars
I could show you incredible things
Bm
   Stolen kisses, pretty lies
                               G
You're the King baby I'm your
Queen
Find out what you want
A
Be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh
no
D
   Screaming, crying, perfect storm
                           Bm
I can make all the tables turn
Rose gardens filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
G
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
      A
But you'll come back each time
you leave
        A*
Cause darling I'm a nightmare
dressed like a daydream
 
[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]
 
[Bridge]
 D*             D*          --(palm mute)
Boys only want love if it's
torture
Bm*                 Bm*           --(palm mute)
   Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya
 G
Boys only want love if it's
torture
A
   Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya 
 
[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]

Where you have G major as the chord in the prechorus/chorus, it should really be an E minor. In the verse it's not as obvious because the backing isn't as strong, but definitely during the chorus there's a minor tonality. Otherwise, this is a pretty good transcription.

I think the lyrics are "Magic, madness, heaven, sin".

it should be "Ain't it funny rumors fly?" ""Magic, madness, heaven, sin"
