i was trying to play kids by mgmt by ear and this is what turned out. i know its not
100% perfect but its a quick way of learning it and i think it sounds half decent.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: i play on fourth but you can do whatever suits your voice. :)
enjoy!
(btw its just Am, C, Em, D the whole time)
Oi, I mean it, I mean it, I ain t trying to play around
I need it, I need it, you can probably see it
You ll probably think I m gonna rip your heart to pieces
Get you in the sheets, and hit it up and leave it
Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say my reputation precedes me
But you gotta be fair
Though you might ve heard about the numbers that I sleep with
That s not all I am but at least there ain t no secrets
(At the chorus i think its best to strum once but you can do what you like)
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don t hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don t mess around with boys like
you
(Here i think its best to just strum down. )
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position with you
Ay yo you ve heard about me right
You ve known that my rep s renowned
Your friends will tell you stay away because I ve slept around
That s how it works though, the word will get around
Back in the day it didn t faze me though
But lately it has kept me down
And though I brought it on myself
But I ain t mad about it
I kept count, but why the did I brag about it
But I ll admit it though my rep is deserved
But I ll be real I want to kill it, though cause having that rep is a curse
My last girl cheated on me with a close friend
That s two relationships, I had to watch them both end
But see it messed with me, the two people I trusted most
I could shrug it off on drunkenness, but them both
See that switched something inside of me
A beast came alive in me and started just eating away the pride in me
Because we re known to make mistakes and I ve grown to make a change
I was different back then but now I ain t the same
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don t hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don t mess around with boys like
you
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position with you
I mean it, I mean it, I ain t trying to play around
I need it, I need it, you can probably see it
You ll probably think I m gonna rip your heart to pieces
Get you in the sheets and hit it up and leave it
Believe it, believe me, you are gonna say my reputation precedes it
But you gotta be fair
Through you might ve heard about the numbers that I sleep with
Yeah that may be true but it s you I wanna be with
Mama always told me poppa always warned me don t hang around boys like you
Teacher always told me never to be naughty don t mess around with boys like
you
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position
If I had have listened wouldn t be in this position with you
I know its far from 100% right. but eh.
