You have such a bad disguise

[Chorus 1]
D                                           A
Tripping hard falling out onto the ground
(A)                       Asus4                Em7
Cause I can¡¦t stand up and I can't fall down
(Em7)     G
Cause I'm somewhere in the middle of this
D   A-Asus4       Em7   G
Wooohoooo woooooo oh
 
[Verse 2]
D
I was out the other night
      A7sus4
And I saw you so we had a fight
       Em7
It was late and I was lonely
     G
Baby such a long way home
     D
So I asked you if you'd join me
      A7sus4
For a single last call drink
Em7
And so you turned and bought us 2
        G
And you didn't even blink
             D
You had this look, that of an angel
       A7sus4
It was such a bad disguise
         Bm                 A
When you drink it makes you angry
       G
When I drink I want you more and more and more
 
[Chorus] (x2)
