[Verse 1]
EMaj7 D#m7
Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried
C#m7
Or I should leave and say goodbye
C#m7
It's killin' me inside
EMaj7 D#m7
If I could just get next to you, I'd probably be alright
C#m7
But we're so busy in this life
C#m7
We always say, "Some other time"
EMaj7 D#m7
Why won't my tears work? It's been a decade since I've cried
C#m7
I got no dog left in the fight
C#m7
The bark don't match the bite
EMaj7 D#m7
Me and my old man, we just get fucked up every night
C#m7
He said, "Son, these hoes just don't love you"
C#m7
I said, "I'll keep that in mind"
EMaj7 D#m7
Those ain't words to live by, wouldn't call that sound advice
C#m7
Our future doesn't sound too bright
C#m7
But I just nod and say, "You're right," I do
EMaj7 D#m7
Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried
C#m7
Or I should leave and say goodbye
C#m7
It's killin' me inside
[Chorus]
EMaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And all my (My) presents to show my affection
C#m7 EMaj7
Flowers and diamonds and jets through the sky
D#m7 C#m7
I'm not here to teach you a lesson (No)
C#m7 Emaj7
I'm just a caring and passionate guy
D#m7 C#m7
Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe
C#m7 EMaj7
Talks with your friends got you changin'
D#m7 C#m7
Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe
C#m7
Talking to your friends
[Verse 2]
EMaj7 D#m7
Girl, I miss my friends, you know too much of them have died
C#m7
I wish that they were still alive
C#m7
Just to see the silver lines
EMaj7 D#m7
This year, me and God, we wasn't seein' eye to eye
C#m7
I prayed to her from time to time
C#m7
She was busy on another vibe
EMaj7 D#m7
I can't vent to you through no text message and reply
C#m7
I need to see you face to face
C#m7
Gotta look you in the eye, I do
EMaj7 D#m7
Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried
C#m7
Or I should leave and say goodbye
C#m7
It's killin' me inside
[Chorus]
EMaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And all my presents to show my affection
C#m7 EMaj7
Flowers and diamonds and jets through the sky
D#m7 C#m7
I'm not here to teach you a lesson (No, no)
C#m7 EMaj7
I'm just a caring and passionate guy
D#m7 C#m7
Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe
C#m7 EMaj7
Talks with your friends got you changin'
D#m7 C#m7
Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe
C#m7 Emaj7
Talking to your friends
EMaj7 D#m7 C#m7
Ooh, another misunderstanding, of course
C#m7
I pushed you away 'cause that's what I could afford
EMaj7 D#m7 C#m7
Ooh, we felt way too true and it hurts
C#m7 (N.C.)
So laughing or crying will only make it worse
