D             F#m
She's such a flirt
G             A   G  D
And I am the lonely heart
          F#m
Give it a chance
G        A    G   F#
For our love to start
                 Bm
But you'll never see
A
If you
           D  A   Bm
Don't give me a shot
     A       G
To show you what I've got

Chorus:
      D
It's too late
     A
To pretend
    A#dim
You know me better
 Bm            C
Than I know myself
Don't take my heart
     G     Gm     D  A G
And put it on a shelf
D              A
Always someone else
   A#dim
The next guy who will
Bm                    C
Make your cold heart melt
                   G
I'm gonna give my love
   Gm      D   A G
To someone else

I held your hand (Ah, ah)
It felt like a movie
I made some plans (Ah, ah)
But you were already moving on now
I'm stuck under a rainy cloud
But you don't seem to care
But it's alright 'cause it's

Chorus:
Too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf, yeah
Always someone else
The next guy who will make your cold heart melt
I'm gonna give my love to someone else

C
I'm tired
    G              D
Of wasting all my time
C
My heart
    G              E
Is hanging on the line
Is it me, girl
               F#
Or someone else?
        G
Please take me
          A
Off the shelf

Too late to pretend
You know me better than I know myself
Don't take my heart and put it on a shelf

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Everybody
Always someone else
The next guy who will make your cold heart melt
I'm gonna give my love to someone else, yeah
Woo, ooh
