[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
See you in the dark
C/G
All eyes on you, my magician
Fmaj7
All eyes on us
C/G
You make everyone disappear, and
Fmaj7
Cut me into pieces
C/G
Gold cage, hostage to my feelings
Fmaj7
Back against the wall
C/G Am7
Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
'Cause we break down a little
C/G
But when you get me alone, it's so
Am7
simple
Fmaj7 C
'Cause baby, I know what you know
C/G
We can feel it
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And all the pieces fall
C/G
Right into place
Fmaj7 C
Getting caught up in a moment
C/G Am7
Lipstick on your face
So it goes...
Fmaj7 C
I'm yours to keep
C/G
And I'm yours to lose
Fmaj7 C
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
C/G Am7
Do bad things with you
So it goes...
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Met you in a bar
C/G
All eyes on me, your illusionist
Fmaj7
All eyes on us
C/G
I make all your gray days clear
Fmaj7
And wear you like a necklace
C/G
I'm so chill, but you make me jealous
Fmaj7
But I got your heart
C/G Am7
Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
'Cause we break down a little
C/G
But when I get you alone, it's so
Am7
simple
Fmaj7 C
'Cause baby, I know what you know
C/G
We can feel it
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And all the pieces fall
C/G
Right into place
Fmaj7 C
Getting caught up in a moment
C/G Am7
Lipstick on your face
So it goes...
Fmaj7 C
I'm yours to keep
C/G
And I'm yours to lose
Fmaj7 C
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
C/G Am7
Do bad things with you
So it goes...
[Refrain]
Fmaj7
Come here, dressed in black now
C/G
So, so, so it goes
Fmaj7
Scratches down your back now
C/G
So, so, so it goes
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 C/G
You did a number on me
Fmaj7
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?
C/G
I did a number on you
Fmaj7
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?
C/G
You did a number on me
Fmaj7
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?

Who's counting?

I'm yours to keep

And I'm yours to lose

Do bad things with you
So it goes...
[Refrain]

Come here, dressed in black now

So, so, so it goes
Fmaj7
Scratches down your back now
