Lyrics

I’m not lov ing you way I want ed to.

What I had to do, had to run from you.

I’m in love with you but the vibe is wrong, and that haunt ed me all the way home.

So you nev er know, nev er nev er know, nev er know e nough ’til it’s o ver, love.

’Til we lose con trol, sys tem o ver load.

Scream ing, “No, no, no, no, no.”

(C#m)I’m not (E)lov ing (C#m)you way I (E)want ed (C#m)to.

See I (E)want to (C#m)move but can’t es (E)cape from (C#m)you.

(F#m)So I (A)keep it (F#m)low, keep a (A)se cret (F#m)code, so (A)ev (F#m)’ry bod y else (B)don’t have to (B)know.

So keep (E)your love (C#m)locked down, (E)your love (C#m)locked down, keep ing (E)your love (C#m)locked down, (E)your love (C#m)locked down.

(F#m)Now keep (A)your love (F#m)locked down, (A)your love (F#m)locked down, now keep (A)your love (F#m)locked down, you (B)lose.

I’m not (E)lov ing (C#m)you way I (E)want ed (C#m)to.

I can’t (E)keep my (C#m)cool, so I (E)keep it (C#m)true.

(F#m)I got (A)some thing (F#m)to lose, so I (A)got to (F#m)move.

I can’t (A)keep (F#m)my self (B)and still (B)keep you, (B)too.

So I (E)keep in (C#m)mind when I’m (E)on my (C#m)own some where (E)far from (C#m)home in the (E)dan ger (C#m)zone, (F#m)how man (A)y times (F#m)did I tell you ’fore (A)it fin (F#m)’lly got through, you (A)lose,

(B)you lose.

(CN.C.)I’m not lov ing you way I want ed to.

See I had to go, see I had to move.

No more wast ing time, you can’t wait for life.

We’re just rac ing time.

(B)Where’s the (B)fin ish (B)line?

So keep

(CN.C.)I’m not lov ing you way I want ed to.

I’ve been no one new, I’ve got no one new.

No, I said I’m through, but got love for you, but I’m not lov ing you way I want ed to.

(C#m)Got to (E)keep it (C#m)go ing, keep the (E)lov ing (C#m)go ing, keep it (E)on a (C#m)roll.

On ly (E)God (C#m)knows (F#m)if I’ll (A)be with (F#m)you.

Ba by, (A)I’m con (F#m)fused.

You (A)choose,

(B)you choose.

I’m not (E)lov ing (C#m)you way I (E)want ed (C#m)to.

Where I (E)want to (C#m)go, I don’t (E)need (C#m)you.

(F#m)I’ve been (A)down this (F#m)road too man (A)y times (F#m)be fore.

I’m not (A)lov ing (F#m)you (B)way I (B)want ed (B)to.

So keep (E)your love (C#m)locked down, (E)your love (C#m)locked down, keep ing (E)your love (C#m)locked down, (E)your love (C#m)locked down.

(F#m)Now keep (A)your love (F#m)locked down, (A)your love (F#m)locked down, now keep (A)your love (F#m)locked down, you (B)lose.
