E              A              C#m
Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
            A
You've got too much talent
E            A                     C#m
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
           A
There's a cure you've found it
E             A
Slow motion sparks You've
            C#m
caught that chill
     A
Now don't deny it
E                 A
But boys will be boys
              C#m
Oh, yes, they will
           F#m
They don't wanna define it

      A
Just give up the game
and get into me
          F#/A#
If you're looking for
thrills then get cold feet

Chorus:
E       G#m A       E
Oh no I do not hook up
     G#m A
up I go slow
   C#m
So if you want me
        F#
I don't come cheap
           A
Keep your hand in my hand
           B
your heart on your sleeve
E        G#m A       E
Oh, no I do not hook up
      G#m  A
up I fall deep
C#m                      F#
Cause the more that you try
            A
the harder I'll fight
    B       E
To say goodnight

I can't cook, no, but I can clean
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beats
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last, but this is now
So love the one you're with
You want a chase, but you're chasin' your tail
A quick fix won't ever get you well

Chorus:
Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand and your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say—

     C#m
Cause I feel
     E
The distance
    A   F#m
Between us
         C#m E
Could be over
           A
With the snap
        F#/A#
of your finger

Chorus:
Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand and your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say—
'Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say goodnight

Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down
'Cause you don't wanna miss out
