[Intro]
Riff x1
[Verse 1]
Bm7
You didn't think I had a clue
Bm7
But all this time, I really knew
Em7
Now all my days are colored blue
Bm7
Just know that I won't follow you
F#m7 Ab6\C Em7
It's not what you say, it's what you do
Bm7
Just know that I won't follow you
Bm7
And if you really need to go
Bm7
Oh baby please don't slam the door
Em7
And if you go, you better go slow
Bm7
Oh baby please don't slam the door
F#m7 Ab6\C Em7
And if it's true we're really through
Bm7
Just know that I won't follow you
[Chorus]
Bm7 Em7
Baby close the door
A G
If you're saying we're no more
Bm7 Em7
And if you want it back
A G
I swear I'll clean up my act
Bm7 Em7
Baby close the door
A G
If you're saying we're no more
Bm7 Em7
And if you want it back
A G
I swear I'll clean up my act
[Verse 2]
Bm7
Just gotta get this off my chest
Bm7
You ain't no better than the rest
Em7
You know I tell you all the time
Bm7
The strings you pull just cross the line
[Bridge]
Bm7 Em7
Pay no mind, pay no mind
F#m7 Em7
Pay no mind, pay no mind
Bm7 Em7
Pay no mind, pay no mind
F#m7 Em7
I guess you really were not mine
[Chorus]
Bm7 Em7
Baby close the door
A G
If you're saying we're no more
Bm7 Em7
And if you want it back
A G
I swear I'll clean up my act
Bm7 Em7
Baby close the door
A G
If you're saying we're no more
Bm7 Em7
And if you want it back
A G
I swear I'll clean up my act
[Outro]
Bm7
Baby, close the door
