Verse 1 

C           F                D 
  Something don't feel right 
           G                       D               F 
Because it ain't right, especially comin' up after midnight  
C              F      D 
  I smell your secret 
            G               D              F 
And I'm not too perfect, to ever feel this worthless 
    C                         F                  D             
How did it come down to this, going through your call list 
        G                             D            F 
I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'ma fuck me up a bitch 
C                               F              D 
  Know that I kept it sexy, and know I kept it fun 
        G                                 D           F 
There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one 


Pre-Chorus 

C                       F          D     
  What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy? 
G                 D   F 
Jealous or crazy? 
C               F               D        
  Or like being walked all over lately? 
G                           D         F 
Walked all over lately, I'd rather be crazy

  Slow down, they don't love you like I love you 
C                     F               D 
  Back up, they don't love you like I love you 
G                       D               F 
  Step down, they don't love you like I love you 
C                          F          D 
  Can't you see there's no other man above you? 
G                      D                   F 
  What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you 
C                     F               D 
  Hold up, they don't love you like I love you

Verse 2 

      C                             F            D 
Let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for your- 
 G                                     D            F 
-self or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king 
      C                                     F              D 
Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets 
      G                            D               F 
Never had the baddest woman in the game up in your sheets 
C               F       D     
  Would they be down to ride, no  
G              D              F              
  They used to hide from you, lie to you 
C                        F             D     
  But y'all know we were made for each other 
     G  
So I find you and hold you down 

Me sing, sing 


C                     F               D 
  Hold up, they don't love you like I love you 
G                       D               F 
  Slow down, they don't love you like I love you 
C                     F               D 
  Back up, they don't love you like I love you 
G                       D               F 
  Step down, they don't love you like I love you 
C                          F          D

G                      D                   F 
  What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you 
C                     F               D 
  Hold up, they don't love you like I love you 
G                       D               F 
  Slow down, they don't love you like I love you

               C                         F    D         
Hey, hey, hey, hey, this is such a shame, you let this  
G                     D    F              
Good love go to waste, I always keep the  
C         N.C.

I hop up out the bed and get my swag on 
                                      C 
I looked in the mirror, said, "What's up?" 
       D                     G 
What's up, what's up, what's up 
  C                             D    G 
I hop up out the bed and get my swag on 
                                      C 
I looked in the mirror, said, "What's up?" 
       D                     G 
What's up, what's up, what's up
