I'm jealous, I'm overzealous

I get angry, baby, believe me
         Cm
I could love you just like that
             C#
And I could leave you just this fast

    C#         D#
But you don't judge me
               G#                           Fm
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

             C#
'Cause I got issues
                D#
But you got 'em too
            G#
So give 'em all to me
                      Fm
And I'll give mine to you
             C#
Bask in the glory
            D#
Of all our problems
                  G#
'Cause we got the kind of love
             Fm
It takes to solve 'em
            C#     D#
Yeah, I got issues

And one of them is how bad I need you

You do shit on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect, poorly wired circuit
And got hands like an ocean
Push you out, pull you back in

'Cause you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
No, you don't judge me
'Cause you see it from the same point of view

Chorus

C#       D#     G#          Fm

(I got issues, you got 'em too)

Chorus:
'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too (I got)
So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you
(You got 'em too)
Bask in the glory of all our problems
(I got issues)
'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em
(You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need ya
(You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)
And one of them is how bad I need ya
(You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need ya
