Intro
[Am] [Fmaj7/C] [C/G] [G6add11]
[Verse] (strum quietly)
Leave me [Am]out with the [Fmaj7/C]waste
This is [C/G]not what I [G6add11]do
It's the [Am]wrong kind of [Fmaj7/C]place
To be [C/G]thinking of [G6add11]you
It's the [Am]wrong [Fmaj7/C]time
For [C/G]somebody [G6add11]new
It's a [Am]small [Fmaj7/C]crime
And I've got[C/G] no [G6add11]excuse
[Chorus] (strum harder/louder for this)
Is that [Am]alright [Fmaj7/C]yeah?[C/G]
Give my [G6add11]gun away when it's [Am]loaded
That [Fmaj7/C]alright [C/G]yeah?
If you don't [G6add11]shoot it how am I supposed to [Am]hold it
Is that [Fmaj7/C]alright [C/G]yeah?

Is that [Fmaj7/C]alright is that [C/G]alright?
With [G6add11]you?

To be [C/G]cheating on [G6add11]you
It's the [Am]wrong [Fmaj7/C]time
