G
I don't care if you never come home,
C
I don't mind if you just keep on
 G
rolling away on a distant sea,
         D                                 G
cause I don't love you and you don't love me.

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give them a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights
I will leave you alone, I will just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me

Chorus:
C                 G 
I got a problem can you relate?
Am7            G
I got a woman calling love hate.
C                   G 
We made a vow we'd always be friends.
Am7                             G
How could we know that promises end?

I tried to love you for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
And I would still love you, if you'd just love me

Chorus:
I got a problem. Can you relate?
I got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end?
