Had to steal, daddy's car, park it far from her house 
                            A

How to lean back, fake a yawn 
                              Em 
Stretch your arm round her shoulder 
                         A 
Pull her closer til she let you lean in for a kiss

How to act like you're listening to her about her day 
                                A 
When she's talking and she's blocking the game 
 D                                     G 
How to shut your mouth when it's that time of the month 
   Em                                   A 
Knowing when she's mad and when she's really just drunk 
         D                  G 
And you swear that you'll change all our ways 
          Em                        A 
Just to get her to believe you and move into your man cave

How to hide a ring in your pocket for weeks 
 Em                             A 
How to say them four words and make 'em sound so sweet 
 Bm          A               D       G
