A F#m
Jealousy has gone and got ahold of me
D E A
I could offer an apology or take one on the chin
F#m
But honestly it gets a little hard to see
D E A A7
Exactly what's in front of me when I see you with him
D Dm
But I can't tell no one
A A7
Cause I got no reason
B7 E A A7
To be acting the way that I am
D Dm
And I can't do nothin'
A A7
And I need to come clean
B7 E E7
I saw the way you looked at him
A F#m
It's scandalous I saw his eyes move up your dress
D E A
He was being obvious you said he's just a friend
F#m
Slight caress I swear I saw your hand touch his
D E A A7
I tried not to be envious but I can never win
D Dm
Too blind to focus
A A7
And to dead to notice
B7 E A A7
That this could be a sign of the end
D Dm
And I know our love is
A A7
Too contentious
B7 E E7
To ever be exactly the same again
A F#m
I'm back from the liquor store your clothes were lying on the floor
D E A
He's locked behind the bathroom door I tried to be a man
A F#m
Oh help me Lord cause jealousy's a two edged sword
D E A
I loved her less she loved him more than I could understand
F#m D E A (2x)
