F#m                                D
Yeah right from the start you had me hooked

And I knew I was falling
F#m
And sure you had me sussed
            D
You worked me out
             A          E  
You took me right out no doubt

F#m
Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
D
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
A
There must be someone
 E  
A robot, a terminator?

He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it

Chorus:
C#m        D     E        F#m
You might be the one, the one for me
C#m        D     E        F#m

The one

You know what I want
You see me sweat and lose all confidence
And you, you mess me up
I'm back to front
You know I want you, don't you?

Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it

Chorus

Call me a lawyer
I want to micromanage
I need a hit man
And get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me, man down
Don't wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don't like it
