G
I don't care if you never come home,

C
I don't mind if you just...keep on

G
rolling away on a distant sea,

         D                                 G
'cause I don't love you and you don't love me.
[Verse 2]
    G
You cause a commotion when you come to town,

C
give 'em a smile and they melt.

       G
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,

      D                                   G
but I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

G  C   Bm           D
La la..la la la la la.

G  C   Bm           D  G
La la..la la la la la.
[Verse 3]
G
I don't care what you do at night,

        C
oh, and I don't care how you get your delights.

          G
I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be,

  D                                 G  G7
I don't love you and you don't love me.
[Chorus]
C                 G
I got a problem...can you relate?

Am7             G
I got a woman...calling love hate.

C                    G
We made a vow...we'd always be friends.

Am7                                G
   How could we know that promises end?

G  C   Bm           D
La la..la la la la la.

G  C   Bm           D   G
La la..la la la la la.
[Verse 4]
G
I tried to love you for years upon years,

      C
you refused to take me for real.

     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see

         D                                 G  G7
that I'd still love you if you'd just love me.
[Chorus]
C                 G
  I got a problem...can you relate?

Am7                           G
   I got a woman calling love hate.

C                    G
We made a vow...we'd always be friends.

Am7                                G
   How could we know that promises end?
