Cm            A#              F    D#
Your love is nothing I can't fight
Cm                    A#               F  D#
Can't sleep with the man who dims my shine
            Cm           A#
I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when-
              F
I know you're outside banging but
   D#
I won't let you in
             Cm              A#
'Cus it's a hard life, with love in the world
            F
And now my hard girl lovin'
         D#
Is like chewing on pearls

Chorus:
Cm                    A#
You got me wondering why I-
           F                 D#
I like it rough, I-I like it rough,
I-I like it rough
Cm                    A#
You got me wondering why I-
   F                          D#
I like it rough, I-I like it rough,
I-I like it rough

Won't go without my fix tonight
It's a little too rough
Prom Girl wipes her tears with silver lines
And she can't enough
I'm in the bedroom with tissues and when-
I know you're outside banging but
I won't let you in
'Cus it's a hard life, with love in the world
And now my hard girl lovin'
is like straightening curls

Chorus

     Cm
I'm shiny and I know it
            A#
Don't know why you want to blow it
        F
Need a man who likes it rough
          D#
Likes it rough likes it rough
     Cm
I'm shiny and I know it
            A#
Don't know why you want to blow it
        F
Need a man who likes it rough
          D#
Likes it rough likes it rough
Cm                     A#
Is it cause you don't mean it?
                    F
Or because I don't feel it?
          D#
Yes it's rough
Cm                     A#
Is it cause you don't mean it?
                    F
Or because I don't feel it?
          D#
Yes it's rough

Is it cus you don't mean it?
Or because I don't feel it?
Yes it's rough
Is it cus you don't mean it?
Or because I don't feel it?
Yes it's rough
