[Verse 1]
D Bm7
You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down
G5 D Asus4
You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around
D Bm7
You make all the rules, you're set in your ways
G D
You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space
[Chorus]
D
But one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
Bm7
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
G5 D Asus4
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
D
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
Bm7
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
G5 D Asus4
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
Bm7 Asus4 G5
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
D
Ask me how I know

[Verse 2]
D Bm7
Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong
G5 D Asus4
Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song"
D Bm7
But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am
G5 D
And I'd give anything to go back and try again
[Chorus]
D
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
Bm7
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
G5 D Asus4
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
D
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
Bm7
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
G5 D Asus4
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
Bm7 Asus4 G
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
D
Ask me how I know
