A                            Em
Don't know why but I like that you think
I'm so laid back
G                  D
Made you believe it, is that cheating?
A                            Em
And you love that I move fast, you don't
notice one red flag
G                    D
'Cause on the surface I'm too perfect

A                         Em
Trust me as soon as you go,
I'll make fake scenarios
  G                                 D
Where I say, "I love you", you say, "Gross"
               A                           Em
That leads to crying in the grocery store, man,
I miss my bathroom floor
    G                                  D
No dirty looks from the moms in aisle four

Chorus:
                 A
I know you just met me and right now you got
          Em
nothing against me
                                G
But I know how to make myself crazy,
                D
loving me gets messy, messy
         A                            Em
It gets messy, half of all my exes regret me
                               G
But none of them will ever forget me,
                D
loving me gets really messy

A Em G                 D
      (Loving me gets messy, messy)

I might say I like you less
But it's all just one big test
Pretend I'm leaving, to make sure we're even

Trust me as soon as you go
I'll make fake scenarios
Where I ask if I am yours and you say, "No"
That leads to crying in the grocery store
Man, I miss my bathroom floor
No dirty looks from the moms in aisle four

Chorus:
I know you just met me
And right now you got nothing against me
But I know how to make myself crazy
Loving me gets messy, messy
It gets messy
Half of all my exes regret me
But none of them will ever forget me
Loving me gets really messy

 A
(Ooh, it gets messy, ooh, it gets messy)
 Em
(Ooh, it gets messy, ooh)
 G
(Ooh, it gets messy, ooh, it gets messy)
 D
(Ooh, it gets messy, ooh)
Loving me gets messy, messy

         A                            Em
It gets messy, half of all my exes regret me
                               G
But none of them will ever forget me,
                D
loving me gets really messy
