And this is how it [C]starts
You take your shoes of in the back of my [F]van [G]
My shirt looks so [C]good
When it’s just hanging off your [F]back [G]


She said [C]use your hands and my spare time
We’ve got [G]one thing in common, it’s this tongue of mine
She [F]said, she’s got a boyfriend anyway
She’s got a [G]boyfriend anyway [C]


It’s only minutes before I drop you off
And all we seem to do is talk about [F]sex
She’s got a boyfriend anyway
She’s got a [G]boyfriend anyway [C]


I loved you friend when I saw his film
He’s got a funny face, but
I like that cause he still looks [F]cool


She’s got a boyfriend anyway
She’s got a [G]boyfriend anyway [Dm]
Now we’re on the bed in my [G]room


And I’m about to fill his shoes
But [F]you say no, [G]you say no [F]
Does he take care of you? [G]


Or could I easily fill his shoes?
But [F]you say no, [G]you say no [C]
Now we’re just outside of [G]town
And you’re making your way [F]down
She’s got a boyfriend anyway [G]
She’s got a boyfriend anyway


And [C]I’m not trying to stop you, love
It’s just if we’re gonna do anything
We might as well [F]just fuck


She’s got a boyfriend anyway
She’s got a [G]boyfriend anyway [C]
You in your high tops [G]anyway
You in your skinny jeans [F]anyway [G] [C]
You and your fit friends [G]anyway
I’d take them all out any [F]day
They’ve all got backcombs [G]anyway
They’ve all got boyfriends anyway [C]
