Intro: A F x4
 
Verse:
C              D#              A#
   I wanna feel like this forever
    C                    D#                           A#
In my own little world I feel better than ever
F  C      D#    A# A      A#
I   donʼt wanna   leave..
C                               D#        A#
   Is there nothing that I could tell you
       C                     D#
To make you wanna leave
                        A#     F
Residence in my cranium
C            D#     A#  F     C      A     A#
Washed down with something sweet.
 
Pre-chorus:
A       A# A    A#
(Mmm,   aah).
 
Chorus:
Dm               F
     Sweet like tarmac, Iʼd eat that
G                      A#                     Dm
Get your fingers out of my mouth.
              F
I like bad things I canʼt have
  G
Tell me that it isnʼt over (aaah!)
 
A                F
   Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back down
A                F
   Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back
 
Verse:
A            A#                   F                         A
   Started building up this red feeling in my gut
      A#                    F                                  C
It reminds me of the dread of the morning but.
 
Bridge:
                                 A#
I wonʼt feel like this forever
       F         C          D#                               A#
Iʼll lay down with my girl ʼtil I crash from the sugar
  F   C    D#   A#  F    C   A     A#
Roadkill, tarmac, rescue   me.
 
Chorus:
Dm                 F
      Sweet like tarmac, Iʼd eat that
G                       A#                Dm
Get your fingers out of my mouth
               F
I like bad things I canʼt have
  Dm                              G
Tell me I canʼt have it, I want it more now
Dm         F                             A#
     S-salivate and I hate that I love
                    G
The taste but canʼt spit it out
Dm               F
     I like bad things I canʼt have
  G
Tell me that it isnʼt over
  G
Tell me that it isnʼt over
F
   Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back down
Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back
 
Outro:
A                  F
    Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back down
A                  F
    Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back
A                  F
    Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back down
A                  F
    Whatever comes up in my head, it must Go back
