Even though I said don't touch me I lied, I lied 

G 
I can't fall for you, can't give my all to you 
A 
Can't let you think that Imma let the game stall for you 
Bm 
Gotta protect me you gotta sweat me 
Bm 
You said you thought you was ready and I said let's see 
G 
But I ain't mean that, I need some fucking proof 
A 
'Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose 
Bm 
You just a heart breaker won't let you break mine 
Bm 
'Cause I'll be smashing windows and cutting them break lines 

G                       A               Bm              Bm 
I lied 
                                                G 
'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you

Even though I said fuck you, I lied, I lied 

G 
I thought eventually you would let me go 
A 
That was my insecurities and my ego 
Bm 
Missed my jump shot missed my free throw 
Bm 
Miss the way we kiss, miss the D yo 
G 
Man it was good while it lasted 
A 
That shit wasn't real it was magic 
Bm 
If it was a record it would have been classic 
Bm 
But fuck you though, orgasmic 

Bridge:
 
G                                               A 
I guess this is what I gotta do to keep me from falling 
                                Bm 
Stalling the truth, who knew what you'd do if I let you in 
                   G 
My mama ain't raised no fool, I 
                        A 
I'm not your usual typical type 
                  Bm 
Who would protect me if I never hide? 
                Bm 
Falling so fast I am afraid of you 
        G       A       Bm 
So I lied, I lied, I lied 
                             G      A 
To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh 
                                    Bm 
To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh 
        G       A       Bm 
I lied, ooh baby, oh 
                                                G  A  Bm  Bm 
'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you
