[Verse 1]
Bm
She said \”I never want to leave you but I gotta go\”
G                                                              A
And then she left me for a reason that I\’ll never know
D
But I don\’t mind
F#
I\’m feeling fine
Bm
My mama told me all the things that I already know
A
Sometimes I feel it in my bones just like an animal
D
She\’s on my mind
F#
I guess I\’m not alright
But…

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                         Bm
I\’ve been through this shit so many times
G
And I can\’t deny
D
I\’ll give you one more try
G                                         Bm
I\’m hoping things go differently this time
C
\’Cause she could be right
F#
She could be right

[Chorus]
Bm                                         Em
Mama told me \”Play it cool\”
A                                         Bm
But I can\’t help if I\’m a fool

And in my mind there\’s only you

[Verse 2]
Bm
She says you\’re going way too fast, you gotta take it slow
G                                             A
This love is like a plant, we gotta let it grow
D
And I said \”Why?\”
F#
\”Sounds like a waste of time\”

I\’m getting tired of tryna be what you want me to be
A
But mama told me that I can\’t keep playing hide and seek

She\’s on my mind
F#
I\’m not gonna lie
But…

I call the same old things so many times
G
Some things in life
A                     D        A
You just can\’t rewind

Things don\’t seem to change although I try

And I know why
Bm
