You held my hand and walked me home, I know.   
E                    C#m                           B   
Why you gave me the kiss, it was something like this, it made

Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love, guys are so

A  
Did I, not I tell you,   
     C#m    
That I'm not like that

Girl the one who,   
               B  
gives it all away   
C#m                        A                E         B  
Did you think that I was gonna give up to you, this time?   
C#m                        A                    E       B   
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do, and cry   
C#m           A             E   
Dont try to tell me what to do   
             B               A   
Dont try to tell me what to say   
A                      B   
You're better off that way  
E                       C#m              B                                  A  
Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck  
E                       C#m                    B                         A  
Will get you in my pants, I'll have to kick your ass and make you never forget  
E                       C#m                       B                      A  
I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset  
E             C#m             B                        A  
Get outta my head. Get off my bed. Yeah, that's what I said  
 
A   
Did I, not tell you   
     C#m  
That I'm not like that girl   
    A

              B  
Gives it all away  
 
(repete refrão)  
 
A                                      C#m  
This guilt trip that you put me on, won't mess me up, I've done no wrong.   
     A                                 B    
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away.   
 
(repete refrão)  
 
        A  
Off that way  
                        B    E  
I'm better off alone anyway
