We get in a fight

You stay out late
                  F
You have no idea
G                    C             Bb
How much you make me worry baby
                    F     G
Called everyone in town
          C        Bb
I think you know
                F
So come on now

I'm a fool in love

But I still got my pride too
                           G/B
I'll wait a little longer. I'll suffer for my heart
F                            G
Then I'll go find someone to worry about me
F          G  C               F G F C    F G F Bb
As much as I worry about you

How you make me worry about you
              F
Here I am I'm knowing
             C                   Bb
That I can't live without you
                   F          G               C            Bb
Here I am thinking someday we make this a long time thing
