Cheap Cologne

     Am                     F 
I get so attached to trusting better halves 
                      C 
In a flash, we lost all that we had 
                     G 
I feel guilty every time we laugh 
                      Am 
'Cause I couldn't see behind your mask 
 

                            F 
Could it be the timing or the wrong place? 
                           C 
Getting sick of hearing you say "always." 
                            G 
Show a little effort, and that's all it takes 
 

     Am 
How could love feel safe with a seed of doubt? 
       F 
All the nights I prayed you would be around 
C          G 
No, please don't go 
           Am 
Say that it was never your fault, who was keeping count? 

F                               C 
Guess that I thought it would even out, no oh ooh ooh 
   G                     Am      F 
Now I know we'd never last like cheap cologne 
            C                G 
Last like cheap cologne, last like cheap cologne 
 

Am 
Word to my preacher, I dig a little deeper 
    F 
'Cause sometimes what's real 

Don't always show on the surface 
C 
  Don't matter how I treat her 

You see it in her demeanor 
   G 
Like how we call it love 

If we gon' end it all on purpose
