G          Bm             Em
Baby, you make it look easy
                             C
Light the room like a chandelier
Work of art, leave a mark like graffiti
With a kiss hard to miss when you're here
It's almost like any other night
Especially in that red dress I like
I'm dancing with you in my mind
While I dance around a lie

Chorus:
             G
If I didn't care
              Bm                     Em           C
I wouldn't be acting like you're not there right now
             G
If I didn't care
                  Bm
I'd be taking it slow, no,
                Em          C
I wouldn't be three drinks down
                G                   Gmaj7
I wouldn't be where you're hanging out
              G7             G/A
I'd be on the other side of town
                C               Am
Wouldn't be pretending I don't care (I don't care)
             G  Bm        Em
If I didn't care, like I do
             G  Bm        Em
If I didn't care, like I do

What did you think I would say?
When you walked up and asked how I'm doing
How did you think I'd behave?
Introduce me to somebody new
Treated like any other guy
Treat it like any other night
Treat you like everybody else
Maybe I'd be myself

Chorus

I wouldn't be blowing all my money
like a millionaire
Making bar stool dance floor warfare
Doing anything and everything to make you care
Tell me, how would you feel

If I didn't care? Mm, no, no
If I didn't care, oh, like I do, yeah

Chorus:
If I didn't care
I wouldn't be acting like you're not there right now
If I didn't care
I'd be taking it slow, no,
I wouldn't be three drinks down
Wouldn't be where you're hanging out
I'd be on the other side of town
Wouldn't be pretending I don't care (I don't care)
If I didn't care, like I do, yeah
If I didn't care, like I do
Oh, I do
