So I need to hide, are my friends still following me?
Lend [D] some sugar to your neighbor
[G] Do a girl a favor, [Eb] I might [F] return it later
[Cm] I'm sold, [D] it's really not my fault
[Dm] My heart's on my t [Eb]-shirt, maybe [F] you could keep [Eb] it
If the devil [Cm] were a woman, I wouldn't have to [Gm] run away
