VERSE 1:
[F] I don't care if you never come home
[A#] I don't mind if you just
Keep on
[F] rowing away on a distant sea
'Cause I
[C] don't love you and you don't love
[F] me
VERSE 2:
You
[F] cause a commotion when you come to town
You
[A#] give them a smile and they melt
Having
[F] lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I
[C] don't like yours and you don't like
[F] mine
CHORUS:
La
[A#] la,
[F/A] la la la la

VERSE 3:
[F] I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and
[A#] I don't care how you get your delights
I will
[F] leave you alone, I will just let it be
I
[C] don't love you and you don't love
[F] me
BRIDGE:
[A#] I got a problem,
[F/A] can you relate?
[Gm7] I got a woman
[F] calling love hate
[A#] We made a vow we'd
[F/A] always be friends
[Gm7] How could we know that promises
[F] end?
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[F] I tried to love you for years upon years
You re-
[A#]-fuse to take me for real
It's
[F] time you saw what I want you to see
And I would
[C] still love you, if you would just love
[F] me
REPEAT BRIDGE:
REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
