F#m
It took too long, it took too long, it took to long
            A
for you to call back
                             D
And normally i would just forget that
                              C#
Except for the fact it was my birthday
my stupid birthday

I played along, I played along, I played along
Rolled right off my back
But obviously, my armor was cracked
What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?

    F#m
the type of guy who doesn't see
what he has until she leaves
A                         D
don't let me go cause without me
you know you're lost
                           C#
wise up now or pay the cost soon you will know

Chorus:
F#m                              A
you're not livin' til your livin' livin with me
D                                  C#
you're not winnin' til your winnin' winning me
F#m                                A
you're not gettin' til your gettin' getting to me
D                                C#
you're not livin' til your livin' livin' for me

F#m                    A
this is the potential break up song
           D                      C#
our album needs just one oh baby please
please tell me

We got along, we got along, we got along
Until you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
I want my stuff back

You can send it in a box
I don't care, just drop it off
I won't be home
'Cause without me, you know you're lost
Minus you, I'm better off
Soon you will know

Chorus

D C#m                       E
     you can try, you can try
                             D
you know i'd know it'd be a lie
                         C#m
without me you're gonna cry
                      E
so you better think clearly clearly
before you nearly nearly
             C#
bust up the situation that you're
gonna miss dearly dearly come on

Chorus:
You're not livin' 'til you're livin' (No)
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'
(No, no, no, no)
Winnin' me, yeah, yeah
You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'
('Til you're gettin')
Gettin' me
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' for me (No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no)

This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh, baby, please, please tell me
This is the potential make up song
Please just admit you're wrong
Which will it be?
Which will it be?

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
