Lyrics with chords

VERSE

        Cadd9            D
    I'm jealous, I'm overzealous...
             G/B                             Cadd9
    When I'm down, I get real down, when I'm high, I don't come down
          Cadd9            D
    I get angry... baby, believe me
            G/B                                    Cadd9
    I could love you just like that... and I could leave you just as fast

PRE-CHORUS

        Cadd9        D
    But you don't... judge me...
                  G                            Em
    'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
        Cadd9        D
    No, you don't... judge me
                  G                            Em
    'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

CHORUS

                 Cadd9                     D
    'Cause I got issues... But you got 'em too
                G                               Em
    So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you
                Cadd9              D
    Bask in the glory...of all our problems
              G                                Em
    'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em
                Cadd9    D         
    Yeah, I got issues..... and one of them is how bad I need you
