Verse                                                                                                              
               Em 
 Knew he was a killer 
                                                                                                               
 First time that I saw him 
                 Em                                                                                              
 Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted 
               Em                                                                                                
 But if he's a ghost then I can be a phantom 
                 Em                                                                                              
 Holdin' him for ransom 
                                                                                                               
                            Em 
 Some, some boys are tryin' too hard 
                                                                                                               
 He don't try at all though 
                 Em                                                                                              
 Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so 
               Em                                                                                                
 I see nothing better, I keep him forever 
           Em

 I-Island breeze and lights down low 
               Em                                                                                                
 No one has to know 
                                                                                                              
                                                                                                               
                      G            Am     Em 
 In the middle of the night, in my dreams 
 C                            G     Am    Em   C 
 You should see the things we do, baby 
                      G           Am     Em 
 In the middle of the night in my dreams

 Me, I was a robber 
                                                                                                               
 First time that he saw me

 Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry 
              Em                                                                                                 
 But if I'm a thief then 
                                                                                                               
 He can join the heist

 And we'll move to an island-and 

              Em                                                                                                 
 He can be my jailer

 Every lover known in comparison is a failure 
                Em                                                                                               
 I forget their names now 
                                                                                                               
 I'm so very tame now 
              Em                                                                                                 
 Never be the same now, now
