E   D     C    A    C    A  
Hey girl, keep your head high 
E  D C   C   A  
I never said I 
 E    E  E   E    D    C   C  A   C  A  C  A  
Wouldn't be back when I'm leaving on a red eye 
E  E  E   E    E   A  C  A  C   C    C 
Gotta do this show so I can get my dough 
 C    C    C   C    A   A   C  A  
Blow then lay low with you and I 
 E  E   E  D   C   C    C   A  C   C   C   A  
Huggin' up at the house on the top of the hill 
 C    C   C   C    C   C   A    
Where we can drop and get ill 
C  C  C   C   C   C   A  
A little spot we can chill 
A   E    E   D  D C    C    C    A  
Or hide out whenever things get real 
C   A    C  C    C    C  C  C   A  
Shorty, wontcha tell me how ya feel 
C  C  A  
If I will

Until we get this clear 
C   A    C C   A  
Ya just gotta know

When you're not there I be so tight 
A   C A    C   A   C   C    C   D    C 
No matter what I  try, it won't go right
