INTRO: [A]
VERSE 1:
[A] I don't care if you never come home
[D] I don't mind if you just
Keep on
[A] rowing away on a distant sea
'Cause I
[E] don't love you and you don't love
[A] me
VERSE 2:
You
[A] cause a commotion when you come to town
You
[D] give them a smile and they melt
Having
[A] lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I
[E] don't like yours and you don't like
[A] mine
CHORUS:
La
[D] la,
[A/C#] la la la la
[E] la
[E]
La
[D] la,
[A/C#] la la la la
[E] la
[A]
VERSE 3:
[A] I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and
[D] I don't care how you get your delights
I will
[A] leave you alone, I will just let it be
I
[E] don't love you and you don't love
[A] me
BRIDGE:
[D] I got a problem,
[A/C#] can you relate?
[Bm7] I got a woman
[A] calling love hate
[D] We made a vow we'd
[A/C#] always be friends
[Bm7] How could we know that promises
[A] end?
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[A] I tried to love you for years upon years
You re-
[D]-fuse to take me for real
It's
[A] time you saw what I want you to see
And I would
[E] still love you, if you would just love
[A] me
REPEAT BRIDGE:
REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
