[Verse]
E B
F# third party at a table for two
C#m E
I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
A F#m E
But it was me and you before you met her.
E B
All the love songs you wrote for me,
C#m E
(You) stuck her name where mine used to be
A F#m E B
But my name in them fit the rhythm better.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I'd go if you had a ride
A
I'd smoke if you had a light
F#m B B7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m
But love is trippy like that
C# B
Sometimes you think that you've got it
F# B C#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
F# C# D#m
But love will slip through your hands.
C# B F#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
B C# E B C#m E A F#m E
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
E B
Says the woman who sings at the bar
C#m E
This is for you, you know who you are
A F#m E
I was you once, looking for someone I never found.
E B
She paints in a low smoky voice
C#m E
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
A F#m E B
And how they stood her up just to let her down.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
She'd win if you were the prize,
A
Gives in to all of your lies,
F#m B B7
She'd fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m
But love is trippy like that
C# B
Sometimes you think that you've got it
F# B C#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
F# C# D#m
But love will slip through your hands.
C# B F#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
B C# E B C#m E A F#m E
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
E B
All of the girls who feel like they're
C#m E
Overdressed, undersexed, starving for yesses or
A F#m E
Maybes, tired of always being ignored.
E B
You might see the available chair
C#m E
Beside me, the invitation is there
A F#m E B
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
And I'd go if you had a ride
A
And I'd smoke if you had a light
F#m B B7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m
But love is trippy like that
C# B
Sometimes you think that you've got it
F# B C#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
F# C# D#m
But love will slip through your hands.
C# B F#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
B C# E B C#m E A F#m E
Your gripping is tripping you up.
