E       F#m             A
Smoke alarm went off at 9
E          F#m                        A
I woke up, wiped the sleep out of my eyes
E              F#m               A
She left a note 'I'll be back in 5'
E               F#m               A
Well, I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive,

C#m    A       B
I was told to put my job in front of you
C#m           A       B
But it won't hold me like you do

Chorus:
                     E
But I do it for the love
               F#m
Waiting on the gold rush
               A
Keep it on the edge
Smoking on a roll up
                E
When I see my friends
                F#m
All they say is hold up
       A
And remember the time
                   E
When we were in school
              F#m
Listening to grown ups
                 A
Didn't learn a thing
But then again you know what
                 E
You know how to sing
        F#m
But you don't know anything
A
Other than that

                              E
So maybe you should learn to love her
F#m             A
Like, like the way
                           E
Maybe you should learn to love her
F#m             A
Like, like the way
                           E
Maybe you should learn to love her
F#m             A
Like, like the way
                               E
And maybe you should learn to love her
F#m             A
Like, like the way
You want to be loved

I never told her that I liked
The way she dances slightly out of time
And pretends she knows the words
To a song she's never heard
But I tell her all the time, hey

I was told to put my job in front of you
But it won't hold me like you do

Chorus

So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
You wanna be loved, hey.

Chorus

So maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
Maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way...
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way
You wanna be loved.
