This is not a test or an SOS

I'm no longer on a quest to get girls undressed
F#
I search through their hearts and no treasure found

I had finally given up on love and romance

Another pretty girl I would love to admire
From a distance, but she's here, so I'll jump in the fire
Comin' for your heart like a cannibal
Oh, she lets me right in and I fed 'til I'm full

I watched you through your window
                                       A6M
I was wearing that dumb sweatshirt
                         G
I looked like a goon,
GM
I was dressed for winter
A                                                         D
Even though it was the middle of June

D                             GbM
I watched you get undressed
                                A6M
I must have turned bright red
                                         G
'Cause I couldn't stand to face you
GM
'Cause I liked what I saw
A                                                       D
And maybe we should just be friends


G
Tell me how you feel about me
D
Do you like or like, like me?
G
Tell me what you really feel
D                    A
Do you like me?
G                  A                 D
Ju------st  sa----y you do


D                                  GbM
I climbed up your front porch
          A6M
And I doorbell ditched ya
                        G
And I felt so bad,
GM
Couldn't cope to what I did
A                                                                     D
So I laughed myself sick all the way to my car

I'll take you on a cruise to somewhere nice
           B                G
You haven't been before
        A
Love was meant for more
D                  B
You moved up close, I could feel your sweat
G              A                D
I kissed you on the neck and you got wet
         B            G       A            D  G  A
It's a shallow treat for a guy like me

Everybody's looking at you like they want to

I've got nothin' keeping me here
I've wasted all the love that I hold dear
I'll throw a dart: L.A.
The wolf has run away
The guy you know thinks he's so slick
He'll kiss you on the lips but he'll get sick
Lothario...
He's a creep, you know

Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you

I'm on your trail, I can smell your blood
I've had enough with unrequited love
It's the coast I crave
Leads me to my grave
Fillin' my head was the sick of my spine
Give it up and I will make you mine
I will buy you things
Like diamond rings

Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Everybody's looking at you like they want to
Like they want to go home with you

With wolves dressed up as sheep
A              Bm
  They've been killing

Injured creatures in their sleep

You really shut me down

Darlin', look how young we are
                 G
Wishing on the stars
                  C
Sleeping in your arms
                               F
We fit like a pair of beat up shoes
                       G
With nothin' left to prove
           C
We can be ourselves

You can have my viking heart

Precious, you mean so much to me
                   G
You keep good company
                        C
You make me feel like a man
                                   F
We're fresh like a pair of newborn kids
                G
Learning how to kiss
                C
Learning how to love

Dalrin', you're the one
                  C
Please be good to me
                        F
'Cause no one loves you like I do

And until death do us part
                       C
You can have my viking heart
