STANDARD TUNING w/
CAPO ON 2
This is the version that I like to play. And I do this finger picking pattern throughout.
Just play the pattern over and over again until it's time to change to the next chord.
You'll get it as you play.

[Verse 1]
G
Nice to meet you where you been
Em
I can show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven sin
Saw you there and I thought
Am7
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
C D
Love’s a game, want to plaaaaay?
G
New money, suit and tie
Em
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you heard about
Am7
Me so hey, lets be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
D
Grab your passport and my hand
C D
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
[Chorus]
G Em
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over mmm
Am7
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
G
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
(G)
Cause were young and we're reckless
Em
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Am
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
C*mute G
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
[Verse 2]
G
Cherry lips, crystal skies
Em
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
Am7
You're the king baby I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
C D G
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no
(G)
Screaming crying perfect storms
Em
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing
C
Like "Oh my god who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
D
But you'll come back each time you leave
C
Cause darlin' I'm a nightmare, dressed like a daydream
[Chorus]
G Em
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mmm
Am
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
G
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
(G)
Cause were young and we're reckless
Em
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Am
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)
C (mute)
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
[Bridge]
G D
Boys only want love if it's torture
Em D
Don't say I, say I didn't warn you
G D
Boys only want love if it's torture
Em
Don't say I, say I didn't warn you
(KEY CHANGE)
