[Verse 1: Wale]
Am
Tryna keep it low
Gm7
Keep 'em on that need to know
F
Tell everybody that we're just friends
E
But to be honest that platonic shit's for TV shows
Am
Same place, we're with different folks
Gm7
Case closed if they crack the code
F
Is it me, or is you cold?
E
Cause the feelings you ain't showin' pokin' out your clothes
Am
Go put a sweater on or get a room
Gm7
Forbidden fruit, swimmin' in your juice
F
Lot of ways I can get to you
E
But my train of thought is tryna get you out your ch-ch-choo
[Pre-Hook: Wale]
Am
Still we keep it low
Gm7
Keep 'em all on that need to know
F
Could somebody tell somebody

I'm somebody and I'm sorry but somebody gon' need to go
Work

As far as me and you, we got a simple code

Spendin' nights, well that's optional
Gm7
No telephones in the afternoon
F
I know that overthinkin' only leads to subtweetin'
E
Every time your ass in the mood
Am
Sharin' thoughts when we share a room
Gm7
Though we barely talk when we share a room
F
In the dark, still see your curves
E
Body like what, swear to God you're a miracle
[Pre-Hook: Wale]
