                   D#m
Friday night, I'm paranoid, faded out 
      B
like polaroids
        F#                       A#m
Liquid courage in my veins right now
         D#m
I always hit you up when there's too
            B
much in my cup, yeah
                   F#
That's when those memories start gettin'
 A#m
loud, yeah

D#m                       B
I didn't mean to write a song about you
F#                              A#m
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
D#m                      B
I swear I'm doing better off without you
F#                         A#m
So I don't know why, but I wanna find out

Chorus:
D#m            B              F#
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
            A#m
I mean, the way I used to
 D#m           B                F#
Does somebody touch you in the way I do?
            A#m
I mean, the way I used to
D#m                       B
I know it's three in the mornin', it's
         F#
tequila talkin'
                   A#m
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
D#m            B              F#
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
      A#m
I mean

Still posting all your pictures
Damn, I wish you looked different
Without that sorry look on your eyes
And yeah, you made me crazy
Do I miss you? Well, maybe
Or am I drunk on the idea tonight?

Mmm, I didn't mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out (Words pour out)
I swear I'm doing better off without you
So I don't know why, but I wanna find out (I wanna find out)

Chorus:
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
Does somebody touch you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin', it's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to

D#m                 B
In the way, in the way
F#           A#m
In the way I used to (Yeah)
D#m                 B
In the way, in the way
F#           A#m
In the way I used to

And damn, your voice is all up in my head again
The space between us don't stop me from wonderin'
I didn't mean to write a song about you, no, no
Here we are though
And now I gotta know

Chorus:
Does somebody love you (Does somebody love you)
in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to (To)
Does somebody touch you in the way I do? (In the way I do)
I mean, the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin', it's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to

Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin' (The way I used to)
Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin' (The way I used to)
