[Intro]
F#*

[Verse 1]
F#*                      B/D#
Here we are, come see us driving in your car
       A/C#                    F#*
In the morning's dim, break it off with him
F#*                                 B/D#
You said something there. Something throws me from my chair
  A/C#                B/D#                 F#*
I refuse to talk this hour, 'cause I don't need this now

[Chorus 1]
D#m*                     B/D#
You're a sure thing, but I know
        F#*
I don't need this now.
D#m*                    B/D#
You're an old friend we both know
        F#*
I could take you out.

[Verse 2]
    F#                         B
And last night I did something that I don't wanna hear
           A                    F#
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now
    F#                        B
And I punched upset, and it's buzzing in my ear
           A         B          F#
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now

[Chorus 2]
D#m*                    B/D#
You're a sure thing but I know
        F#
You can count me out
D#m*                     B/D#
You're an old friend. We both know
        F#
I could take you out

[Bridge]
G#m                 F#*  D#m   G#m           G#m           F#
I see it now. I see iiit slow, I see it now. I see it now.

[Verse 3]
F#                       B                    A
Here we are, come see us filing in my car and take a spin
         F#
Break it off with him
        F#                         B
He says something there. Something throws me from my chair
           A         B          F#
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now

[Chorus 3]
D#m*                    B/D#
You're a sure thing but I know
        F#
You can count me out
D#m*                     B/D#
You're an old friend. We both know
        F#
I could take you out.
