Jealousy
View chords used in this chart
Broken chairs, splitting hairs
E
I gotta band-aid on my knee
D
Crusted toast, in a far off coast
A E
Is one philosophy
A
You held my hand, as we touched the sand
E
And then fell into the sea
D
I tried to turn to talk to you
A E
It ended awkwardly
[Chorus]
Asus4 A
Asus4 A Esus6 E
You never show the best of me
Esus6 E Dsus4 D
Now you've got me on my knees
A E
I'd leave it all behind
[Verse 2]
A
Tell your folks, tell your folks
E
That the birthday wasn't fun
D
I spent the night with all of you
A E
But then I had to run
A
You dealt your cards, it went too far
E
And that really isn't me
D
I'm just a soul, who's all alone
A E
And needs some company
[Chorus]

Asus4 A Esus6 E
You're never going to set me free
Esus6 E Dsus4 D
I'm living here in agony
A E
I do it all the time
[Verse 3]
A
Now time has passed and suddenly
E
You were standing in front of me
D
Holding hands with someone else
A E
Some new love it seems
A
We laughed and cried and then we lied
E
About the good times we had had
D
But I no longer I feel that way
A E
I finally am glad
[Chorus]
