As recorded by Matt Schuster
(2026 release)
Capo 2nd fret
Intro
[Am] [C] [G] [Dm]
Verse 1
[Am] [C]
You always we're a good time
[G]
You just couldn't turn it down
[Dm]
When I needed you around
[Am] [C]
While I was painting blue skies
[G]
You had to paint the town
[Dm]
Always just one more round
Verse 2
[Am]
Oh now it's a quarter past
[C]
In the corner back
[G] [Dm]
Of the one bar we used to close out
[Am]
Like a quarterback
[C]
Girl you throw me that
[G] [Dm]
Are you far 'cause I'm just touching down
Chorus
[Am]
Oh, I wanna say yes
[C]
I wanna be wrong
[G] [Dm]
Just give me one reason to not keep you gone
[Am]
Time and time again
[C]
I pick up the phone
[G] [Dm]
I wanna say yes so I keep telling you no
[Am] [C]
If I didn't you, if I didn't want you
[G]
You wouldn't hear back
[Dm]
But I think you know that
[Am] [C]
Oh, if I didn't you, if I didn't want you
[G]
You wouldn't hear back
[Dm]
But I think you know that
Verse 3
[Am]
You don't even have to change
[C]
Just make me think you did
[G]
It's just another game
[Dm]
That I want you to win
[Am]
Oh, say you cleaned your act
[C]
That you need me bad
[G] [Dm]
It could be a little different this time
[Am]
I can work with that
[C]
Just keep circling back
[G] [Dm]
Baby you're gonna find that
Chorus
[Am]
I wanna say yes
[C]
I wanna be wrong
[G] [Dm]
Just give me one reason to not keep you gone
[Am]
Time and time again
[C]
I pick up the phone
[G] [Dm]
I wanna say yes so I keep telling you no
[Am] [C]
If I didn't you, if I didn't want you
[G]
You wouldn't hear back
[Dm]
But I think you know that
[Am] [C]
Oh, if I didn't you, if I didn't want you
[G]
You wouldn't hear back
[Dm]
But I think you know that

Oh how I wanna say yes so I keep telling you no
