[Verse 1]
G
I let the door, hit you right in the face,
C Bb
And when the check comes I'll make you pay.
G
Don't have a car, guess you're picking me up,
C Bb
And in the back seat we'll be falling in love.
G
My only job is... to lie on this couch,
C Bb
And while you're workin' I'll be hangin' out.
G
Now don't get mad cause you knew from the start,
C
I was an asshole who would never go far.
[Pre Chorus]
Eb Bb
Cause when you're really good to girls, give them your entire world
C G
They end up walking away. (Hey, Hey)
Eb Bb
They don't want a stand up guy, rather have you cheat and lie,
D
And do something they hate...
[Chorus]
G
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb
They say they do but in the end,
C
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb A
They want a loser like me.
G
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb
If you want to get to them,
C
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb A
They want a loser like me.
G G G G Bb A
[Verse 2]
G
Your parents cry when you bring me around,
C Bb
They raised you up just so I can take you down.
G
There goes your life right before their eyes,
C
I'll have you bare foot pregnant, going out of your mind.
[Pre Chorus]
Eb Bb
Cause when you're really good to girls, give them your entire world
C G
They end up walking away. (Hey, Hey)
Eb Bb
They don't want a stand up guy, rather have you cheat and lie,
D
And do something they hate...
[Chorus]
G
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb
They say they do but in the end,
C
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb A
They want a loser like me.

Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb
If you want to get to them,

Girls don't want a gentleman,

They want a loser like me.
[Bridge]
Eb F
I used to be a nice guy,
G F Eb
But that don't get you anywhere.
D
So now I'm just a piece of shit, idiot,
Who's too stupid to care.

G Bb C
If you give a girl respect, treat her like she's the best,
Bb C
you're nothing to her.
G Bb D
She'd rather have you playing games, piss her off and make her wait,
If you want it to work...
[Chorus]
G
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb
They say they do but in the end,
C
Girls don't want a gentleman,
Bb A
They want a loser like me.
