He's a giver, he'll give the kind of attention [A] she's never known
He's a helper, he'll help her open the doors that [D] she can't on her own
He's a lover, he'll love her in ways that she's [G] never been loved before

She's been hungry [D] and poor
He's a charmer, he'll charm her with money and [A] manners that I've never learned
He's a leader, dear leader, across pretty bridges [D] he's planning to burn
He's a talker, he'll talk her right off of her feet

Cause [G] he's a taker, he'll take her to places and make her fly higher than she's [A] ever dared to
He'll take his time while he's taking advantage, he's taking her easy [D] and slow
