C
I hear the phone it
          G      F
rings so violently
C
Can't leave my room
cant breath since
G         F
she left me
C
I will admit I hate
        G       F
those things i said
C
Girls always cry guys
              G        F
will never admit they did

C        G    F
Hold on hold on
C        G     F
hold on hold on

Chorus:
C
Dont tell me that it's over
G                 F
I'm not used to this temptation
C
And when you come back running
G                  F
There's no use for explanation
C
I think things are too hurtful
G            F
Even with my expert knowledge
C
Most girls do mean trouble
G                F
because they are rarely honest

What's with the jokes, all the routines they play?
Screw with my head, never cave
'til they get their way
Guys like to run, chicks love to yell, you see
Guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Chorus

C        G      Am F
Hold on hold on
C        G      Am F
hold on hold on

Chorus - x2

C
Dont tell me
that it's over
I'm not used to
this temptation
