[Verse]
A E
B third party at a table for two
F#m A
I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
D Bm A
But it was me and you before you met her.
A E
All the love songs you wrote for me,
F#m A
(You) stuck her name where mine used to be
D Bm A E
But my name in them fit the rhythm better.
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
I'd go if you had a ride
D
I'd smoke if you had a light
Bm E E7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
But love is trippy like that
F# E
Sometimes you think that you've got it
B E F#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
B F# G#m
But love will slip through your hands.
F# E B
You never know how to hold it, control it,
E F# A E F#m A D Bm A
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
A E
Says the woman who sings at the bar
F#m A
This is for you, you know who you are
D Bm A
I was you once, looking for someone I never found.
A E
She paints in a low smoky voice
F#m A
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
D Bm A E
And how they stood her up just to let her down.
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
She'd win if you were the prize,
D
Gives in to all of your lies,
Bm E E7
She'd fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
But love is trippy like that
F# E
Sometimes you think that you've got it
B E F#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
B F# G#m
But love will slip through your hands.
F# E B
You never know how to hold it, control it,
E F# A E F#m A D Bm A
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
A E
All of the girls who feel like they're
F#m A
Overdressed, undersexed, starving for yesses or
D Bm A
Maybes, tired of always being ignored.
A E
You might see the available chair
F#m A
Beside me, the invitation is there
D Bm A E
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for.
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
And I'd go if you had a ride
D
And I'd smoke if you had a light
Bm E E7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
B F# G#m
But love is trippy like that
F# E
Sometimes you think that you've got it
B E F#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
B F# G#m
But love will slip through your hands.
F# E B
You never know how to hold it, control it,
E F# A E F#m A D Bm A
Your gripping is tripping you up.
A E F#m A D Bm A (x2)
