Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
G
I don't care if you never come home
C
I don't mind if you just keep on
G
Rowing 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
You give them 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

[Refrain]
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
   C   G/B         D G
La la, la la la la la

[Verse 3]
G
I don't care what you do at night
Oh,
    C
and I don't care how you get your delights
       G
I will leave you alone,
I will just let it be
  D                                 G
I don't love you and you don't love me

[Chorus]
C                G/B
I got a problem, can you relate?
Am7            G
I  got a woman calling love hate
C                  G/B
We made a vow we'd always be friends
Am7                               G
   How could we know that promises end?

[Refrain]
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
   C   G/B         D G
La la, la la la la la

[Verse 4]
G
I tried to love you for years upon years
      C
You refuse to take me for real
     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see
            D
And I would still love you,
                       G
if you would just love me

[Chorus]
C                G/B
 I got a problem,   can you relate?
Am7                           G
   I got a woman calling love hate
C                  G/B
We made a vow we'd always be friends
Am7                               G
   How could we know that promises end?

[Outro]
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
   C   G/B         D
La la, la la la la la
Oh

[Fade Out]
C  G/B          D
La la, la la la la
Oh
C  G/B
La la, la la la
