Cm        A#         G#
Said I'd be gone by five
         Fm                Gm            G#
But it's sun rise and I'm still in your bed
Cm        A#        G#
Goodnight usually means goodbye
Fm            Gm             G#
Me re-playing memories in my head
        Cm              A#                       G#
Look at you, look at you, look what you made me do
       Fm               Gm                  G#
How do you, how do you think know my every move
        Cm             A#               G#
Who are you? Who are you? You look so familiar
        Fm              Gm                G#
I know you, I know you, baby, I know the truth

Chorus:
                       Cm  A# G#
We got way too much in common
              Fm   Gm     G#
If I'm being honest with you
                       Cm  A# G#
We got way too much in common
                 Fm   Gm     G#
Since I'm being honest with you
                                Cm
Who wants to love somebody like me?
          A#                  G#
You wanna love somebody like me?
                                Fm
If you could love somebody like me
            Gm        G#
You must be messed up too
                                Cm
Who wants to love somebody like me?
          A#                  G#
You wanna love somebody like me?
                                Fm
If you could love somebody like me
            Gm        G#
You must be messed up too

We used to talk 'til midnight
All those days that you stayed at my house
We were just passing the time
When we were young and we ain't had no vows
Now, now, now maybe later on,
I'll text you and maybe you'll reply
We both know we had no patience
together day and night
Getting high on our supply,
yeah, we ain't satisfied
I could love you all occasions

Chorus

          A#             Bdim7
Messed up too, messed up too
          Cm             A#/D
Just like you, just like you
          A#              Bdim7
Messed up too, messed up too
          Cm             G#   G
Just like you, just like you

Chorus:
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
