John in G
Notated in 2 (measure gets 2 beats)
I [1]spend so much [5]time tryin^Ã’
To [1]learn all your [4]languages
[1] I got [5]nothin^Ã’ to[2-] say[2-]
It^Ã’s all[1] cheap talk in[5] kind
And a [4]matter of [1]time
[5] Some fool[5] gets his [5]way[5]
[1]Down on his [5]knees he says [1]I got this [4]feelin^Ã’
That [1]you^Ã’re not t[5]hat kind of[2-] girl[2-]
And [6-]no one knows [6-]better as he [4]takes off your [4]sweater
[b7]Just what he [4]means when he^Ã’s[5] promised you the[5] world
|1* 2*|3* 6- |6- 5 |5
Down in front
|1* 2* 3* repeat
That^Ã’s all they want
|1* 2* 3*
Just two square inches
He^Ã’s a[4] snake in[4] britches[/] [/]
Shakin^Ã’ your head as you lie with the enemy
So much louder than words
All that you felt one more notch in his belt
Well have you heard
You got no heart for these bullets he^Ã’s loaded with
They just lite up the sky
And who needs a hero when it^Ã’s zero to zero
I don^Ã’t know baby it^Ã’s just an alibi
