1. I met this girl late last year, she said: Don’t you worry if I disappear,

                   Em                                    Bm

    I told her I’m not really looking for another mistake,

                         C                                    D

    I called and old friend, thinking that trouble would wait.

                     Em                            Bm

    But then I jump  right in, a week later return,

                   C                                       D 

    I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn.

             Em                            Bm

    But I gave her my time for two or three nights,

                C                                    D

    then I put it on pause until the moment was right.

                  Em        Bm         C                                   D

    I went away for months until our paths crossed again.

                       Em                                     Bm

    She told me I was never looking for a friend,

                                   C                                      D

    maybe you could swing by my room around ten,

                          Em                             Bm

    Baby, bring a lemon and a bottle of gin.

                                              C                           D

    we’ll be in between the sheets until the late AM.

                                    Em                                      Bm

    Baby, if you wanted me then you should’ve just said, she’s singing :

 

 C            D                                              Em

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love,

                           C                       D    

that heart is so cold all over my own, I don't wanna know that babe.

 C            D                                              Em                             C

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love, I told her she knows,

                            D                                                     C            D

take aim and reload, I don’t wanna know that babe. Ah lah’m lah lah lah !

 

                            Em                          Bm

2. For a couple weeks I only want to see her,

                                   C                                  D

    we drink away the days with a take-away pizza,

                          Em                                          Bm

    before a text-message was the only way to reach her.

                                  C                                                   D

    Now she’s staying at my place and loves the way I treat her,

                         Em                       Bm

    singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature,

             C                                                 D

    and never wants to sleep, I guess that I don’t want to either.

Em                                          Bm

    But me and her, we make money the same way,

      C                      D

    four cities, two planes the same day,

Em                                              Bm

    and those shows have never been what it’s about,

              C                                              D

    but maybe we’ll go together and just figure it out.

                   Em                                    Bm

    I’d rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch,

                            C                                         D

    but we should get on a plane, or we’ll be missing it now.

                            Em                                        Bm

    Wish I’d have written it down, the way that things played out,

                             C                                           D

    when she was kissing him, how ? I was confused about,

                     Em                              Bm

    she should figure it out while I’m sat here singing.

 

 C            D                                              Em

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love,

                           C                       D    

that heart is so cold all over my own, I don't wanna know that babe.

 C            D                                              Em                             C

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love, I told her she knows,

                            D                                                     C            D

take aim and reload, I don’t wanna know that babe. Ah lah’m lah lah lah !

 

      Em                                            Bm

 3.       (Knock knock knock) on my hotel door,

   C                                         D

    I don’t even know if she knows what for.

                   Em                              Bm

    She was crying on my shoulder, I already told you,

      C                                          D

    trust and respect is what we do this for.

   Em                                 Bm

     I never intended to be next,

                              C                          D

    but you didn’t need to take him to bed, that’s all,

    Em                                       Bm

    and I never saw him as a threat,

                    C                                            D

    until you disappeared with him to have sex of course.

Em                               Bm

    It’s not like we were both on tour,

                     C  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  D

    we were staying on the same (fucking) hotel floor,

               Em                                     Bm

    and I wasn’t looking for a promise or commitment.

                       C                              D

    But it was never just fun and I thought you were different,

    Em                                  Bm

    this is not the way you realize what you wanted.

              C                        D

    It’s a bit too much, too late, if I’m honest,

        Em                   Bm

   all this time God knows I’m singing.

 

 C            D                                              Em

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love,

                           C                       D    

that heart is so cold all over my own, I don't wanna know that babe.

 C            D                                              Em                             C

Ah lah’m lah lah lah ! Don’t fuck with my love, I told her she knows,

                            D                                                     C            D

take aim and reload, I don’t wanna know that babe. Ah lah’m lah lah lah !
