Intro:

Am  E  Am  E
Fmaj7  E  Dm  E

Verse 1:

Am                            E
 At first we started out real cool,
Am                        E
 Takin' me places I ain't never been.
    Fmaj7
But now you're getting comfortable,
      E
Ain't doin' those things you did no more,
       Dm
You're slowly making me pay for things,
     E
Your money should be handling.

Verse 2:

Am                               E
 And now you ask To use my car, (car),
Am                               E
 Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank.
    Fmaj7
And you have the audacity,
   E
To even come and step to me,
       Dm
Ask to hold some money from me,
   E
Un-til you get your cheque next week.

Bridge 1:

Am             E
 You triflin', good for nothin' type of brother,
Am             E
 Silly me, why haven't I found another?
Fmaj7                     E
 A baller, when times get hard,
Need someone to help me out,
Dm
 Instead of a scrub like you,
                      E
Who don't know what a man's about.

Chorus 1:

Am
 Can you pay my bills?
        E
Can you pay my telephone bills?
       G
Do you pay my automo' bills?
       D
If you did then maybe we could just chill.
F                          E
 I don't think you do, so, you and me are through.

Verse 3:

Am               E
 Now you've been maxin' out my card,
Am
 Gave me bad credit,
       E
Buyin' gifts with my own name.
Fmaj7
 Haven't paid the first bill,
           E
But you're steady headin' to the mall,
         Dm
Goin' on shoppin' sprees, perpetratin',
        E
To your friends that you be ballin'.

Verse 4:

Am                         E
 And then you use my cell' phone,
Am                        E
 Callin' whoever that you think, at home.
    Fmaj7
And then when the bill comes,
         E
All of a sudden you be actin' dumb,
      Dm
Don't know where none of these calls come from,
          E
When your mama's number's here more than once.
