Chewing Gum

Nina Nesbitt


Tom: Em

Em
Before you jump in

Tryna' get under my skin
                   C    
Something I should let you know
Am
It's gonna be impossible

Em
Cause I'm a made up mess

In a backless dress
              C
I don't wanna lead you on
Am
Cause I'd only do you wrong, oh oh


Em
You can have my heart

But you're not gonna leave with it
C
Lying in the dark
     Am
Yeah you almost believed in it


[Pre-Chorus]

Em
You've got me wrong
             C   
I've got you hanging round my neck
       Am
Saying romance isn't dead


[Chorus]

Em
Oh, you know that I'm down for whatever
    C                      Am 
But oh, I told you that it won't be forever
Em
Oh, how come you still think that you're the one
      C                      Am
Baby, I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                      Am ... 
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone


[Verse]

   ... Em
Let me tell you straight

I could be your worst mistake
                     C
Or you could get the best of me
                 Am
Forget about the rest of me


Em
With your cigarette

In between your teeth
          C
You could light me up
        Am
If I forget to breathe, oh oh


Em
You can have my heart

But you're not gonna leave with it
C
Lying in the dark
     Am
Yeah you almost believed in it


[Pre-Chorus]

Em
You've got me wrong
             C   
I've got you tied up in the bed
           Am
Screaming romance isn't dead


[Chorus]

Em
Oh, you know that I'm down for whatever
    C                      Am 
But oh, I told you that it won't be forever
Em
Oh, how come you still think that you're the one
      C                      Am
Baby, I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                      Am
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                      Am
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone (gone)
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                      Am
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone


[Bridge]

C     D  
Yeah, you're stuck on me
              Em
Now I can't move

Give it just a night
                    C
And I'll cut you loose
D                   Bm
Oh what a thing to do, yeah


[Chorus]

Em *
Oh, you know that I'm down for whatever
    C *                   Am *
Oh oh, I told you that it won't be forever
Em (lightly strum)
So how come you still think that you're the one
C                                                    Em ... (normal strumming)
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's (flavour's) gone

    Em
You know, you know, oh
       C                Am
Cause I'm, I told, I told you
Em
Oh, how come you still think that you're the one
      C                        Am
Baby, I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                        Am    
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
Em
Oh oh oh, ah ah
C                        Am
I'm just chewing gum until the flavour's gone
