[Verse]
C# G#
D# third party at a table for two
A#m C#
I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
F# D#m C#
But it was me and you before you met her.
C# G#
All the love songs you wrote for me,
A#m C#
(You) stuck her name where mine used to be
F# D#m C# G#
But my name in them fit the rhythm better.
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m
I'd go if you had a ride
F#
I'd smoke if you had a light
D#m G# G#7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
D# A# Cm
But love is trippy like that
A# G#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
D# G# A#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
D# A# Cm
But love will slip through your hands.
A# G# D#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
G# A# C# G# A#m C# F# D#m C#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
C# G#
Says the woman who sings at the bar
A#m C#
This is for you, you know who you are
F# D#m C#
I was you once, looking for someone I never found.
C# G#
She paints in a low smoky voice
A#m C#
Pictures of bruises, bad days and boys
F# D#m C# G#
And how they stood her up just to let her down.
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m
She'd win if you were the prize,
F#
Gives in to all of your lies,
D#m G# G#7
She'd fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
D# A# Cm
But love is trippy like that
A# G#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
D# G# A#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
D# A# Cm
But love will slip through your hands.
A# G# D#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
G# A# C# G# A#m C# F# D#m C#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
[Verse]
C# G#
All of the girls who feel like they're
A#m C#
Overdressed, undersexed, starving for yesses or
F# D#m C#
Maybes, tired of always being ignored.
C# G#
You might see the available chair
A#m C#
Beside me, the invitation is there
F# D#m C# G#
But I'm not the kind of scratch he's itching for.
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m
And I'd go if you had a ride
F#
And I'd smoke if you had a light
D#m G# G#7
I fall every time for this.
[Chorus]
D# A# Cm
But love is trippy like that
A# G#
Sometimes you think that you've got it
D# G# A#
Nobody's gonna trick you out of this one baby.
D# A# Cm
But love will slip through your hands.
A# G# D#
You never know how to hold it, control it,
G# A# C# G# A#m C# F# D#m C#
Your gripping is tripping you up.
C# G# A#m C# F# D#m C# (x2)
