We  were up all night
 Talking trash  and wasting time
 When he says  you're beautiful
 It's not a  line
 But in the morning  you might find
 That he might  have changed his mind
 He got lonely  for a love
 For just one night
 These chords are written in the same way. Each is strummed 8 times (besides the last).
You  may say
 Why don't  you realise
I  could give you everything
But  you see
 He can't  be tied, contained
 or satisfied  by all
you  could bring
 You can probably take it from there. If you don't think I got all of the chords right,
 can watch a great video of The Like performing an acoustic version of this song on the
 Stone's youtube channel, which is where I got them from. I'm not positive I got them
 though, so you may have to play around with them.
