F  x33211 or xx7565 or x 8 10 10 10 8
Gm 355333 or xx8786 or x 10 12 12 11 10
Bb 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


| F
  Men are not from Mars, that being said,

    | Gm
She's always trying to figure out what's in your head

| Bb
  Even when it's nothing, she's sure it is nothing

| F
    You'll not persuade her



VERSE2:
Chords:
F  x33211 or xx7565 or x 8 10 10 10 8
Gm 355333 or xx8786 or x 10 12 12 11 10
Bb 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


 | F
In your defence, she's always prone to tease

  | Gm
For no apparent reason, she's sincere

  | Bb
And when she says she wants to talk,

                                  | F
She just means she wants to talk so little



PRE-CHORUS:
Chords:
Am x02210 or 577555 or xx 10 9 10 8
Dm xx0231 or x57765 or xxx 10 10 10
Gm xxx333 or 355333 or x 10 12 12 11 10
Bb x13331 or 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


| Am                     Dm
  Sometimes, the girl is fronting

 | Gm                                                       | Bb
So scared to wear her heart on her sleeve in case it comes to nothing



CHORUS1:
Chords:
F  x33211 or xx7565 or x 8 10 10 10 8
Gm 355333 or xx8786 or x 10 12 12 11 10
Bb 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


  | F
So, this is not that kind of song

 | Gm
It says true love won't ever go wrong

| Bb                                   | F
I know it's hard, I know it's tough but, don't give up!

              | F
When always you feel like you say something wrong,

     | Gm
You've blown your chance to get along

| Bb                                       | F
I know it's hard yet, I love her, don't give up!

Gm 355333 or xx8786 or x 10 12 12 11 10
Bb 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


  | F
And if she says she wants the lights down low,

   | Gm
It's only 'cause she's shy, so let her know

| Bb                                                | F
  That you think she's beautiful, beautiful make your heart hurt

Bb 688766 or xx 12 10 11 10


  | F
Oh, show them you can keep your word

| Gm
  She can just everything she's heard

| Bb
  What you give, you get back: a thousand in return!

  | F
You know that you can depend on her but...

You ain't ever gonna do it soon, best leap on in!
