[Verse 1]
[G]I only meant to love you,
didn't you [A]know it baby, didn't you know it?
[Am]Why couldn[C]'t you be cont[D]ent
with the love I [G]gave you?
Yeah, [C]I gave y[G]ou my heart,
baby, but you wanted my [A]mind
Oh yeah, [Am]your [C]love scares
me to [D]death, man
It's a [G]choking kind, choking kind
[D]You can kill a g[G]irl with a bottle
of pois[A]on or a knife
I [Am]know you can't,
it would hurt her [C]more to take her [D]pride
And a ruler [G]of life, oh, it's a shame
Baby, baby,
[A]token [G]cat[C][G][C][D][A][Em]
[E]I o[A]nly meant to love you
Didn't you [Bm]know it, baby?
Didn't you know it?
Why could[D]n't you be con
[E]tent with the love [A]I gave you?
I gave you my heart.
You wanted my [B]mind.
Yes, you [Bm]did.
Your [D]love scares me to [E]death, man.
It's the [A]choking kind.
[E]You can kill a [A]girl
With a bottle of pois[B]on or a [Bm]knife
It would hurt her [D]more
To take her [E]pride
And ruin her [A]life
Oh, it's a shame
Find what you want
Keep it
Treat her sweet [B]and kind
Yeah
I [Bm]tell you [D]that hat
Don't fit my [E]head
It's that [A]choking kind
Whatever it is, I surely hope you [Bm]find it
Oh, oh, [D]let it breathe
[E]Oh, make it that [A]token thing
It makes me want to
Oh, [B]yeah, oh, [Bm]yeah[D][E][A]
Tell you your love, your love,
your [B]love, [Bm]baby, your love
[D]Scares me to dea[E]th and now
is [B]that a [A]joking thing?

[Outro 1]
yeah
[A][B][Bm][D][E][A]
