              Bbm  G#  Gb  F 
Something's in the 
 
                    Bbm 
Something's in the air right now 
                         G# 
Like I'm losing track of time (time, time) 
                     Gb                               F 
Like I don't really care right now, but maybe that's fine 
                  Bbm 
You weren't even there that day 
                 G# 
I was waitin' on you (you) 
                     Gb                       F 
I wondered if you aware that day was the last straw for me 
 
   Bbm                    G# 
And I know I sent you flowers 
             Gb 
Did you even care? 
             F                             Bbm 
You ran the shower and left them by the stairs 
     G#          Gb           
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ayy-ayy-ayy, oh-oh 
             F 
Thought you had your shit together 
                  Bbm 
But damn, I was wrong 
                              G# 
You ain't nothing but a lost cause 
                                    Gb 
And this ain't nothing like it once was 
                                  F 
I know you think you're such an outlaw 
                Bbm 
But you got no job 
                               G# 
You ain't nothing but a lost cause

Bbm 
    I used to think you werе shy 
  G#                                       Gb 
Or maybe you just had nothing on your mind 
                               F 
Maybe you were thinkin' 'bout yourself all the time 
  Bbm               
I used to wish you were mine 
  G# 
But that was way before I realized 
  Gb                                F          Bbm 
Someone like you would always be so easy to find 
      G#    Gb    F 
So easy (so easy) 
 
Bbm             G# 
    Gave me no flowers 
              Gb 
Wish I didn't care 
                     F 
You'd been gone for hours 
               Bbm  G#  Gb 
Could be anywhere 
              F 
I thought you would've grown eventually 
                     Bbm 
But you proved me wrong 
 
                               G# 
You ain't nothing but a lost cause 
                                     Gb

                                   F 
I know you think you're such an outlaw 
                Bbm 
But you got no job 
                               G# 
You ain't nothing but a lost cause 
                                    Gb 
And this ain't nothing like it once was 
                                   F 
I know you think you're such an outlaw 
 
But you got no job
