[Verse]
G# D#
A# third party at a table for two
Fm G#
I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
C# A#m G#
But it was me and you before you met her.
G# D#
All the love songs you wrote for me,
Fm G#
(You) stuck her name where mine used to be
C# A#m G# D#
But my name in them fit the rhythm better.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
I'd go if you had a ride
C#
I'd smoke if you had a light
A#m D# D#7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
A# F Gm
But love is trippy like that
F D#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
A# D# F
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
A# F Gm
But love will slip through your hands.
F D# A#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
D# F G# D# Fm G# C# A#m G#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
G# D#
Says the woman who sings at the bar
Fm G#
This is for you, you know who you are
C# A#m G#
I was you once, looking for someone I never found.
G# D#
She paints in a low smoky voice
Fm G#
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
C# A#m G# D#
And how they stood her up just to let her down.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
She'd win if you were the prize,
C#
Gives in to all of your lies,
A#m D# D#7
She'd fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
A# F Gm
But love is trippy like that
F D#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
A# D# F
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
A# F Gm
But love will slip through your hands.
F D# A#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
D# F G# D# Fm G# C# A#m G#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
G# D#
All of the girls who feel like they're
Fm G#
Overdressed, undersexed, starving for yesses or
C# A#m G#
Maybes, tired of always being ignored.
G# D#
You might see the available chair
Fm G#
Beside me, the invitation is there
C# A#m G# D#
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
And I'd go if you had a ride
C#
And I'd smoke if you had a light
A#m D# D#7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
A# F Gm
But love is trippy like that
F D#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
A# D# F
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
A# F Gm
But love will slip through your hands.
F D# A#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
D# F G# D# Fm G# C# A#m G#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
