verse 1 
F#m7(5b) 
If you take too long to hit me back 
E/F  
I can't promise you how I?ll react 
    Cmaj7            C7 
But all I can say is at least I'll wait for you 
 
F#m7(5b) 
Lately I've been on a roller coaster 
E/F  
Tryna get a hold of my emotions 
    Cmaj7              C7 
But all that I know is I need you close 
 
Pre-Chorus 1 
                                  F#m7(5b) 
And I?ma scream and shout for what I love 
                      E/F  
Passionate but I don't give no fucks 
                       Cmaj7 
I admit that I'm a lil' messed up 
                             C7 
But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up 
 
                        F#m7(5b) 
I'm obsessive and I love too hard 
                         E/F  
Good at overthinking with my heart 
                         Cmaj7           C7 
How you even think it got this far, this far? 
 
                    F#m7(5b)                      E/F  
And I can be needy (ooooh), way too damn needy (ooooh) 
                Cmaj7               C7 
I can be needy (ooooh), tell me how good it feels to be needed 
 F#m7(5b)                  E/F  
(Ooooh) I can be needy, (ooooh) so hard to please me

And sorry if I say sorry way too much 
 
F#m7(5b) 
You can go ahead and call me selfish (selfish) 
    E/F  
But after all this damage, I can?t help it (help it)

Or what you can trust ?cause I need your touch
