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 fly
[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]
