                 A#m G# F#maj7 F7
Somethin' in the.

                 A#m
Somethin' in the air right now
                          G#
Like I'm losin' track of time (Time, time)
                    F#maj7
Like I don't really care right now
            F7
But maybe that's fine
                  A#m
You weren't even there that day
                 G#
I was waitin on you (You, you)
                F#maj7
I wonder if you aware away that day
              F7
Was the last straw for me

          A#m            G#
And I know I sent you flowers (Know, know)
             F#maj7
Did you even care?
             F7
You ran the shower
                      A#m
And left them by the stairs
        G#               F#maj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ayy-ayy-ayy-ayy, uhh
F7
Thought you had your shit together,
                A#m
but damn I was wrong

Chorus:
A#m                           G#
You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (Cause, cause)
                                   F#maj7
And this ain't nothin' like it once was (Was, was)
                                   F7
I know you think you're such an outlaw
               A#m
But you got no job (Job)
                              G#
You ain't nothin' but a lost cause (Cause, cause)
                                   F#maj7
And this ain't nothin' like it once was (Was, was)
                                   F7
I know you think you're such an outlaw
But you got no job

                A#m
I used to think you were shy (shy)
G#
Or maybe you just had nothing on your mind
F#maj7                             F7
Maybe you were thinkin' 'bout yourself all the time (time)
   A#m
I used to wish you were mine (mine)
     G#
But that was way before I realized
F#maj7                                F7
Someone like you would always be so easy to find
 A#m                    G#
(Um, um, so) So easy (easy, so, easy)
F#maj7             F7
Easy, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

A#m            G#
Gave me no flowers
              F#maj7
Wish I didn't care
                     F7
You'd been gone for hours
             A#m    G#
Could be anywhere (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
F#maj7          F7
I thought you would've grown eventually
                   A#m
But you proved me wrong

Chorus:
A#m                           G#
You ain't nothin' but a lost cause
                                   F#maj7
And this ain't nothin' like it once was
                                   F7
I know you think you're such an outlaw
               A#m
But you got no job
                              G#
You ain't nothin' but a lost cause
                                   F#maj7
And this ain't nothin' like it once was
                                    F7
I know you think you're such an outlaw
               A#m
But you got no job

A#m               G#
What did I tell you?
               F#maj7
Don't get complacent
                      F7
It's time to face it now
A#m               G#
What did I tell you?
               F#maj7
Don't get complacent
                      F7
It's time to face it now
