Dm                       C
Never stood out in the crowd the way you do
A#                      C
Wish I could have some time alone with you
Dm                       C             A#
But the line is getting longer by the minute,
        C
by the minute

Dm                           C
And it's filled with pretty girls
                        Dm                 A#
With pretty girls that never been rejected, no
Dm                             C
Yeah, it's filled with pretty girls
                     Dm                        A#
That never heard the words, "I'm not interested"

Chorus:
Dm        C                   A#
I act so cool but that's not me
              C                 Dm
Still not the one you choose to see
                    C
I don't ever wanna let you go, no
A#               C
Mateo, Mateo, Mateo, my love
Dm          C                 A#
You always look for something new
         C                Dm
I hope I get my turn with you
                    C
I don't ever wanna let you go, no
A#        C
Mateo, Mateo, Mateo, my love

Never see you on your own, but you're alone
Don't know why the need to fix you turns me on
Think whoever took your heart is gone forever,
is gone forever
And now all the pretty girls
Now all the pretty girls, they wanna love you, yeah
Hurting all the pretty girls
That never heard the words "It's not about you"

Chorus

What, what 'bout my pride?
                                          Dm
Never been chasin' but I'm chasin' now, no
                      C
Love, love makes you wild
              A#                    C
Know you will beat the best I ever had, no
Dm                   C
What, what 'bout my pride?
            A#                       C
Never been chasin' but I'm chasin' now, no
       Dm           C
Love, love's gonna hurt
         A#                        C
Yeah, I promise the world's gonna burn if you
choose her

Chorus
