This jazz/blue song is dominated by the really catchy bass line
and echo effect on the vocal, but the chords are quite straight forward.

Intro Cm
Cm7                                   
Oohh you rubbed me up the wrong way (echos: wrong way x3)
Oohh it was something that you didn't say (echos: didn't say x3)
F7
Gotta get it back gotta get it back gotta get it ba-ack 
                   Cm
Or we might just regret it 

Bridge
   Ab             Eb                Bb
We seem to have a knack for mis-com-muni-ica-tio-on
   Eb                Bb/D      Bbm 
It stabbed us in the back this ti-ime 
Fm           Eb         Bb  Bb (ring)
 Is this the end of the line 
'cause that'd be a crime 

Chorus
C                   Ab 
 Now I sit under an angry-y cloud 
F                  Db
What got ho-old of me 
C                     Ab 
 There's a voice that sounds too loud 
   F                  Db
It bangs on en-ndless-ly 
C                Ab                 F              Ab
 Wanna live in anothe-er world with no frustra-a-a-tions
