[Verse]
F C
G third party at a table for two
Dm F
I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
A# Gm F
But it was me and you before you met her.
F C
All the love songs you wrote for me,
Dm F
(You) stuck her name where mine used to be
A# Gm F C
But my name in them fit the rhythm better.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I'd go if you had a ride
A#
I'd smoke if you had a light
Gm C C7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
G D Em
But love is trippy like that
D C
Sometimes you think that you've got it
G C D
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
G D Em
But love will slip through your hands.
D C G
You never know how to hold it, control it,
C D F C Dm F A# Gm F
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
F C
Says the woman who sings at the bar
Dm F
This is for you, you know who you are
A# Gm F
I was you once, looking for someone I never found.
F C
She paints in a low smoky voice
Dm F
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
A# Gm F C
And how they stood her up just to let her down.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
She'd win if you were the prize,
A#
Gives in to all of your lies,
Gm C C7
She'd fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
G D Em
But love is trippy like that
D C
Sometimes you think that you've got it
G C D
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
G D Em
But love will slip through your hands.
D C G
You never know how to hold it, control it,
C D F C Dm F A# Gm F
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
F C
All of the girls who feel like they're
Dm F
Overdressed, undersexed, starving for yesses or
A# Gm F
Maybes, tired of always being ignored.
F C
You might see the available chair
Dm F
Beside me, the invitation is there
A# Gm F C
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
And I'd go if you had a ride
A#
And I'd smoke if you had a light
Gm C C7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
G D Em
But love is trippy like that
D C
Sometimes you think that you've got it
G C D
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
G D Em
But love will slip through your hands.
D C G
You never know how to hold it, control it,
C D F C Dm F A# Gm F
Your gripping is tripping you up.
F C Dm F A# Gm F (x2)
