[Verse 1]
DmThe night's like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend is talkinAmg to me
But it's alright , she's saying that he's not that Dmhe's gonna slap me
Or try to attack me, he's Amnot the jealous type
DmAnd I only need to get half an Amexcuse and I'm away,
DmBut when there's no excuses that's Ammuch easier to say,

[Verse 2]
[guitar 1 plays only this chord in this part]
DmSomebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response
