A#
I was treading water till the minute we met
Till you caught a teacher's daughter
with a dangerous text
   Gm             F           D#
I read it like a Bible and I wore it like a
 F           A#
bulletproof vest
A#
Found myself a lover that made everything rhyme
A#
Slept under your covers, it made everything right
Gm              F           D#              F
Yeah, I was the DJ and the darling of your passenger
A#
side

Chorus:
      D#                F
So I know that you did bad
       A#         F    Gm          F        D#
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
         D#             F
Yeah, I know it didn't last
              A#       F      Gm      F     D#
And what was cheap to you, to me, was all I had
          D#                         F
The issue is, I know all of this and I
                     A#  F  Gm F D#
I still want you back
                     A#  F  Gm F D#
I still want you back

Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn't sing
But baby, when you touch her,
I bet she doesn't flinch
She'll have you every summer when
I only had you half of the spring
You left like an assassin,
maybe that's for the best
'Cause if you told me what would happen,
I think I would've begged
So you gotta be a coward and
I salvaged a little self-respect

Chorus:
Yeah, I know that you did bad
But, if one more person says it, I might go mad
Yeah, I know it didn't last
And what was cheap to you, to me, was all I had
The issue is, I know all of this and I
I still want you back

F                  Gm
I'm not allowed to want you any longer
       D#
I must go out with a stranger
I must kiss him to get stronger
   F                                Gm
So I don't tell a soul that I'd be yours again
tomorrow
        D#
If you wanted, but you don't wanna

Chorus:
So, I know that you did bad
But, if one more person says it, I might go mad
It wasn't real, it was for me, but you know that
And I bet you've thrown away our photographs
The issue is, I know all of this and I
I still want you back

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
I still want you back
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
I still want you back
