[D]Love, you're getting lazy

You know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring [D]berry
And just like [D]fruit from a fickle vine,
You [D]turn sweet in the nick o' time

When you're [D]losing me
And it's a [A]childish game,
I gotta shake you up just to wake you up
To make you [D]love me

'til I feel your love falling [G][A]all [D]around me
You gotta [A]tend to what you planted,

I'm awake and I'm dreaming

No, I wanna know if your [D]love's all spent!
Chorus

'til I feel your love falling [G][A]all [D]around me
