Capo 6
Verse 1
[G]
Nice to meet you. Where you been?
[Em7]
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
[Cadd9]
Saw you there and I thought oh my god
Look at that face, you look like my next mistake
[D]
Love's a game, wanna play
[G]
New money, suit and tie
[Em7]
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
[Cadd9]
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
[D]
Grab your passport and my hand
[Pause]
I could make the bad guys good for a weekend
Chorus
[G]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
[Em7]
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
Cause you know I love the players
[D]
And you love the game
[G]
Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
[Em7]
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
But I got a blank space baby
[Pause]
And I'll write your name
Verse 2
[G]
Cherry lips Crystal skies
[Em7]
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
[Cadd9]
You're the king baby I'm your queen
Find out what you want Be that girl for a month
[D]
Wait the worst is yet to come Oh no
[G]
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
[Em7]
I could make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
[Cadd9]
Keep you second guessing like oh my god
Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy
[D]
But you'll come back each time you leave
[Pause]
Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Chorus
[G]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
[Em7]
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
Cause you know I love the players
[D]
And you love the game
[G]
Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
[Em7]
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
But I got a blank space baby
[Pause]
And I'll write your name
Bridge
[G] [start low]
Boys only want love if it's torture
[G]
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you
[G] [gradually louder]
Boys only want love if it's torture
[G] [Pause]
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you
Chorus
[G]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
[Em7]
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
Cause you know I love the players
[D]
And you love the game
[G]
Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
[Em7]
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
[Am]
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
[C]
But I got a blank space baby
(Pause) [G]
And I'll write your name
