Chorus:
A#m
Can we just be honest?
Fm
These are the requirements
D#m
If you think you can be my one and only true love
A#m
You must promise to love me
Fm
And damn it, if you fuck me over
D#m
I will rip your fucking face apart
A#m
Step one
Fm
You must accept that I'm a little out my mind
D#m
Step two
D#m
This is a waste if you
can't walk me down the finish line
A#m
Step three
Fm
Give me passion, don't make fun of my fashion
D#m
Step four
D#m
Give me more, give me more, more
A#m
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Fm
Don't waste your time with me
D#m
If you're not down to bleed, no, oh
A#m
If you can't handle the choking, the biting
Fm
The loving, the smothering
D#m
'Til you can't handle it no more, no more
Go home
Chorus
A#m
High school sweethearts, line up
Fm
They're trying to waste my time
G#
High school sweethearts, shut up
D#m
If you're not my type
A#m
High school sweethearts, line up
Fm
They're trying to waste my time
G#
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
Step five
You can't be scared to show me off and hold my hand
Step six
If you can't put in work, I don't know what you think this fucking is
Step seven, this one goes to eleven
If you cheat, you will die, die
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Don't waste your time with me
If you're not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can't handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
'Til you can't handle it no more, no more
Go home
Chorus
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
A#m
Could you hold me through the night?
Fm
Put your lips all over my mine
F#maj7 D#m
Salty face when I start cryin'
A#m
Could you be my first time?
Fm
Eat me up like apple pie
F#maj7
Make me not wanna die
D#m
Love me rough and let me fly
A#m
Get me up, yeah, get me high
Fm
Tie me down, don't leave my side
D#m
Don't be a waste of my time
Chorus
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
Not trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
