verse
F#      B                C#                  D#m
It was electric from the moment they crossed paths
B                         C#             F#
Actively attracted but attempted to walk past
                                    C#                   D#m
Temptation makes impatient impulses pump through married men
         G#  
So just stop breathe, count to three
             F#
Is she worth it?

pre-chorus
                             C#      
Whatever this is it doesn’t feel right
F#                     B
Baby, think about your kids
                   C#           D#m
You’re not putting up a fight
              F#   
We could make love tonight
                 C#                    D#m  
But you’re gonna hate yourself in the morning light
                        B   
So just stop, breathe, count to three
F#             D#m
Get your head right like:

Chorus
B         F#       
I put the I in lie
 F#                         B
Cause I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat
      F#
I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat
         D#m        B
And baby bang bang, kiss kiss
F#
You and I got to put an end to this
    D#m           B 
We cheat, cheat, cheat
      F#
I’m a cheat, cheat, cheat
             B                C#
If you’re unfaithful put your hands in the air,
F#
Hands in the air, hands in the air
                                 B
Like you’re under arrest, with a guilty conscience
F#
Stick em up if you’ve got a guilty conscience

verse 3    
         B
And it’s just lust
   F#
Nothing to write home about
           D#m
Cause it’s just trust
   C#
Nothing to be messed around with
                 B
It might’ve felt good for a minute
         A#m         
But admit it to yourself it ain’t right
             D#m
When you’re sleeping with your lover

But you’re living with your wife

Whatever this is
