Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
A E F#m E D/F#
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Asus4 A Asus4 A
I was treading water till the minute we met
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Till you caught a teacher's daughter with a dangerous text
F#m E D E A
I read it like a Bible and I wore it like a bulletproof vest
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Found myself a lover that made everything rhyme
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Slept under your covers, it made everything right
F#m E D E A
Yeah, I was the DJ and the darling of your passenger side
[Chorus]
D/F# E
So I know that you did bad
F#m E A E D
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
D/F# E
Yeah, I know it didn't last
F#m E A E D
And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had
D/F#
The issue is
E
I know all of this and I
A E F#m E D/F#
I still want you back
A E F#m E D/F#
I still want you back
[Verse 2]
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn't sing
Asus4 A Asus4 A
But, baby, when you touch her, I bet she doesn't flinch
F#m E D E A
She'll have you every summer when I only had you half of a spring
Asus4 A Asus4 A
You left like an assassin, maybe that's for the best
Asus4 A Asus4 A
'Cause if you'd told me what would happen, I think I would've begged
F#m E D E A
So you got to be a coward and I salvaged a little self-respect
[Chorus]
D/F# E
Yeah, I know that you did bad
F#m E A E D
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
D/F# E
Yeah, I know it didn't last
F#m E A E D
And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had
D/F#
The issue is
E
I know all of this and I
A E F#m E D/F#
I still want you back
[Bridge]
E F#m
I am not allowed to want you any longer
D
I must go out with a stranger, I must kiss him to get stronger
E F#m D
So I don't tell a soul, but I'd be yours again tomorrow if you wanted
E
But you don't wanna
[Chorus]
D E
So I know that you did bad
F#m E A E D
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
D/F#
It wasn't real
E
It was for me, but you know that
F#m E A E D
And I bet you've thrown away our photographs
D/F#
The issue is
E
I know all of this and I
A E F#m E D/F#
I still want you back
A E F#m E D/F#
I still want you back
D
I still want you back
I was treading water till the minute we met
Till you caught a teacher's daughter

I read it like a Bible
And I wore it like a bulletproof vest

Slept under your covers, it made everything right
Yeah, I was the DJ
And the darling of your passenger side
So 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
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

If you wanted but you don't wanna
So I know that you did bad

It wasn't real, it was for me but you know that
And I bet you've thrown away our photographs

I still want you back
I still want you back
I still want you back
