 G
Hey baby come 'round,
Dm7
Keep holding me down,
          F                   C
And I'll be keeping you up tonight.
G                                  Dm7
A four letter word got stuck in my head,
                                 F
The dirtest word that I've ever said,
                       C
It's making me feel alright.

Chorus:
F              Dm7       Am
For what it's worth, I love you,
F            Dm7      Am
And what is worse, I really do.
F              Dm7
For what it's worth,
           C                       G                F
I'm gonna run, run, run 'til the sweetness gets to you,
             Dm7      Am
And what is worse, I love you.

Hey please baby come back
There'll be no more loving attacks
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The four letter word is out of my head
Come on around get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright

Chorus

F              Dm7      Am
For what it's worth, I love you,
F             Dm7      Am
And what is worse, I really do.

For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do ahhhh...
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh.
