[Start]

[Intro]
N.C.                                 
Right here what we gon' do is go back
Gm      
Way back
    Cm Gm           
Ooh ■  Way back yeah


[Verse]
Cm                       
■  I met him when I was a
Cm                   
A little girl he gave
Gm               
He gave me poetry
       Gm          
And he was my first
Gm                      
But in my heart I knew I
Gm                 
Wasn't the only one
Gm                           
'cause when the tables turned
Gm                
He had to break up
G7                       
But whenever I got lonely
   D7                
Or needed some advice
               Gm      
He gave me his shoulder
    D7                  
His words were very nice


[Chorus]
    Gm                 Cm
But that is all behind me
       D7                   
'cause now there is no other
   Gm                         
My love is his and his is mine
  F7               
A friend became the
           Ebmaj7
Love of my life  
Dm7 Cm7    Eb    
You are my friend
Cm7        Fsus4
Love of my life 
  Gm        
I can depend
           Eb  
Love of my life
Cm7             
Without you baby
                Gm               
It feels like I sampled true love
        Gm7              
But the shit didn't clear


[Verse]
  G7                                
A freakfreak y'all and ya don't stop
   G7                              
To the beat y'all and ya don't stop
Cm          
A freakfreak
Cm                        
Or could it be that it was
                   Gm  
All just so simple then
                    Gm  
A teenage lover who said
Gm                
He's just a friend
Gm                         
He moved around and we kept
   Gm                           
In touch through his friend Mike
Gm                             
The world was young and we knew
Gm                  
We couldn't rush but
Cm                   
Whenever I got lonely
D7             Gm    
Or needed some advice
Gm                     
He gave me his shoulder
    D7                  
His words were very nice
D7                       
But that is all behind me
       D7                   
'cause now there is no other
   Gm                         
My love is his and his is mine
  D7               
A friend became the
        Eb     
Love of my life


[Chorus]
Dm7 Cm7

Y'all know ■   ■   how I met her


[Verse]
Cm                       F7      
We broke up and got back together
F7                                
To get her back I had to sweat her
D7                             C7                  
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
D7                                              
Them boys may be better to grow I had to let her
                         G7             
She needed cheddar and I understood that
G7                                               
Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat
                                               D7
In fact she's a queen to me her light beams on me
                   G7         
I love it when she sings to me


[Chorus]
Eb        Cm7
