[Verse 1]
E                                        E
  I got a lot of things on my mind right now
A                              A 
  A million ways to think about  you
    E                           E
I can't say I expected anything different
            A                             A 
'Cause the way you complicate me's simple   yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
E                     E 
Bah-duh bah-duh buh, bah-duh bah-duh buh
A
  She didn't stutter, my chest flutters
A
Cardiac attack in the cradle of the summer
E                     E 
Bah-duh bah-duh buh, bah-duh bah-duh buh
A
  I'm superstitious, the kid's vicious
N.C.
Bubblegum smile, taste the cherry on her lips

[Chorus]
E                             E
  You know I want you in the worst way (worst way)
D            N.C.             A                 N.C.
  I need you like cake on my (like cake on my) birthday
E                         E
  The way you operate is so sweet (so sweet)
D            N.C.             A                N.C.
  I need you like cake on my (like cake on my) birthday
E                    E 
Bah-duh bah-duh buh, bah-duh bah-duh buh

[Verse 2]
E                                             E
  I got a lot of long nights in my life right now
A                                      N.C.
  And a lot of spare time to waste with    yoouuuuuu
   E                                E
I can't say I expected somethin' so visceral
        A                            A
But the way we complicate is simple,   oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
E                     E 
Bah-duh bah-duh buh, bah-duh bah-duh buh
A
  She didn't stutter, my chest flutters
A
Cardiac attack in the cradle of the summer
E                     E 
Bah-duh bah-duh buh, bah-duh bah-duh buh
A
  I'm superstitious, the kid's vicious
N.C.
Bubblegum smile, taste the cherry on her lips

[Chorus]
E                             E
  You know I want you in the worst way (worst way)
D            N.C.             A                 N.C.
