i was trying to play kids by mgmt by ear and this is what turned out. i know its not
100% perfect but its a quick way of learning it and i think it sounds half decent.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: i play on fourth but you can do whatever suits your voice. :)
enjoy!
(btw its just Am, C, Em, G the whole time)
Am C
Oi, I mean it, I mean it, I ain't trying to play around
Em D
I need it, I need it, you can probably see it
Am C
You'll probably think I'm gonna rip your heart to pieces
Em D
Get you in the sheets, and hit it up and leave it
Am C Em
Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say my reputation precedes me
D
But you gotta be fair
Am C
Though you might've heard about the numbers that I sleep with
Em D
That's not all I am but at least there ain't no secrets
(At the chorus i think its best to strum once but you can do what you like)
Am C Em
D
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Am C Em
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like
D
you
(Here i think its best to just strum down. )
Am C
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Em D
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Am C
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Em D
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position with you
Am
Ay yo you've heard about me right
C
You've known that my rep's renowned
Em D
Your friends will tell you stay away because I've slept around
Am C
That's how it works though, the word will get around
Em
Back in the day it didn't faze me though
D
But lately it has kept me down
Am
And though I brought it on myself
C
But I ain't mad about it
Em D
I kept count, but why the fuck did I brag about it
Am C
But I'll admit it though my rep is deserved
Em D
But I'll be real I want to kill it, though cause having that rep is a curse
Am C
My last girl cheated on me with a close friend
Em D
That's two relationships, I had to watch them both end
Am C
But see it messed with me, the two people I trusted most
Em D
I could shrug it off on drunkenness, but fuck them both
Am C
See that switched something inside of me
Em D
A beast came alive in me and started just eating away the pride in me
Am C Em
Because we're known to make mistakes and I've grown to make a change
D
I was different back then but now I ain't the same
Am C Em
D
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Am C Em
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like
D
you
Am C
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Em D
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Am C
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position
Em D
If I had have listened wouldn't be in this position with you
Am C
I mean it, I mean it, I ain't trying to play around
Em D
I need it, I need it, you can probably see it
Am C
You'll probably think I'm gonna rip your heart to pieces
Em D
Get you in the sheets and hit it up and leave it
Am C Em
Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say my reputation precedes it
D
But you gotta be fair
Am C
Through you might've heard about the numbers that I sleep with
Em D
Yeah that may be true but it's you I wanna be with
Am C Em
D
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don't hang around boys like you
Am C Em
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don't mess around with boys like
