[Intro 1]
[Em][D][Bm][C]
[Em][D][Bm][C]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][Bm][C]
[Em][D][Bm][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I know what your boy like
[D]Skinny tie and a cuff type
[Bm]He go and make breakfast
[C]You walk around naked
[Em]I might just text you
[D]Turn your phone over, when it's all[Bm] over
No settlin' down,
my text [C]go to your screen
You know better than that
I come a[Em]round when you least expect me
I'm sittin' at the [D]bar
when your glass is empty
You thinkin' that this [Bm]song's
comin' on to tempt me
I need to be a[C]lone like the way you left me
You start [Em]cal lin', you start cryin'
I come [D]o ver, I'm inside you
I can't [Bm]find you
The girl that I once had
[C]But the sex that we have isn't half bad
[Em]Text say, "That it's not fair"
[D]That's code for "He's not here"
[Bm]And I'ma flirt with this new girl
[C]And I'ma call if it don't work
So we [Em]fuck 'til it come to conclusions
All the [D]things that we thought we were losin'
I'm a [Bm]ghost and you know this
That's why we [C]broke up in the first place

[Chorus 2]
[Em]'Cause I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak

[Verse 2]
[Em]It's late night Thursday
[D]I know that you heard me
[Bm]But you don't want the same thing
[C]Well two can play that game
[Em]So I'm chillin' with my girlfriend
[D]But she not my real girlfriend
[Bm]She got a key to my place but
[C]She's not my real girlfriend
[Em]Stupid, so dummy
[D]Say the wrong thing
and wrong girls come runnin'
[Bm]I'm paranoid
that these girls want something from me
[C]And it's hard to make a dime
go one hundred
[Em]And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate
[D]She on time but she late for they first date
[Bm]'Cause he went
and tried out a new condom
[C]Slipped off in a threesome, good problems?
[Em]Right? Wrong
Askin' him if she [D]wanna play games
With the Super Smash Brothers,
but [Bm]none of 'em you
I miss the sex when you kiss
whene[C]ver you through
69 is the only din[Em]ner for two
I was wrong,
but would you have lis[D]tened to you?
Uh, you were crazy
[Bm]I got a heart, but the artichoke
Is only [C]thing girls want

[Chorus 3]
when you in that smoke and light
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]That I am ready to go,[Bm] heartbeat
My [C]heartbeat
[Em]I wanted you to know
[D]Whenever you are arou[Bm]nd, can't speak
I [C]can't speak

[Outro 1]
[Em]So we're done? This the real[D] shit?
We used to hold hands like field trips
[Bm]I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real [C]dick
I read his post on your wall and I feel sick
[Em]He ain't cool, he ball and all that[D]
But he just a fake nigga
who blog in all caps
[Bm]You couldn't wait to date
I'm goin' [C]straight
for your thighs like the cake you ate
I give a fuck about the [Em]niggas
that you say you hate
You [D]know that I'm the best
when I'm a-fake-tionate
I'm the best that you [Bm]had, face it
J and [C]Keyshia are related, racist
I give you money,
then you [Em]Bernie then you made off
She ain't a [D]killer,
but she'd fuckin' blow your head off
I know he wonderin',
[Bm]"What the fuck you hidin'?"
That we [C]dated like raps about Bin Laden
Ayo, fuck this
[Em]Are we datin'? Are we fuck[D]in'?
Are we best friends? Are we something
[Bm]in between that?
I [C]wish we never fucked, and I mean that
(But not really,
you say the nastiest shit in bed
and it's fuckin' awesome
