[Verse 1]
          G
I let the door, hit you right in the face,

             C                                 Bb
And when the check comes I'll make you pay.

             G
Don't have a car, guess you're picking me up,

           C                                   Bb
And in the back seat we'll be falling in love.

        G
My only job is... to lie on this couch,

                 C                             Bb
And while you're workin' I'll be hangin' out.

              G
Now don't get mad cause you knew from the start,

         C
I was an asshole who would never go far.
[Pre Chorus]
Eb                                      Bb
Cause when you're really good to girls, give them your entire world

They end up walking away. (Hey, Hey)

Eb                              Bb
They don't want a stand up guy, rather have you cheat and lie,

D
And do something they hate...
[Chorus]

Girls don't want a gentleman,

Bb
They say they do but in the end,

They want a loser like me.

If you want to get to them,

Your parents cry when you bring me around,

             C                                 Bb
They raised you up just so I can take you down.

             G
There goes your life right before their eyes,

              C
I'll have you bare foot pregnant, going out of your mind.

I used to be a nice guy,

G                    F  Eb
But that don't get you anywhere.

                                 D
So now I'm just a piece of shit, idiot,
Who's too stupid to care. [Guitar Solo] G G G Bb A

If you give a girl respect, treat her like she's the best,

                  Bb C
you're nothing to her.

G                                    Bb                             D
She'd rather have you playing games, piss her off and make her wait,
If you want it to work... [Chorus]
