Amaj7 Caug E F#m (short vr)
OR
Amaj7 Caug Ab E Abm F#m (long vr)
[Verse]
Amaj7
I don't want to be your cigarette
Eaug
I don't want to be your ashtray
Abm
I don't want to be your doormat
'Don't want to be ignored
F#m
All o' sudden you're not into me
Amaj7
And maybe it's not deliberate
Abaug
And I know you never asked me
Abm
I just gotta put it out there
F#m
I don’t put myself out there usually I stay tucked away
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Cause I was a loner until I met you
Abaug Abm
And I let you in after all the persuasion
F#m
Mind games, manipulations.
Amaj7
That's why I'd rather be a loner
Ab
Yeah I'd rather be alone
Abm
I don't even want to know ya
F#m
I don't want to be known
Amaj7
Cause I'd rather be a loner
Ab
I'd much rather be alone
Abm
Baby it was nice to know ya
F#m
Packing up and leaving home.
[Verse]
Amaj7
No I don't want to be your cigarette
Abaug
Use me up then toss me, step on me
Abm
I don't want to be an option
F#m
Avoidin' interactions cause I just wanna get away
Amaj7
And maybe you got a full plate
Abaug
Know I'm cookin' something better
Abm
but if you don't want me now
boy then I don't want you later
F#m
Don't try to come eat with me
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Cause I was a loner until I met you
Abaug Abm
And I let you in after all the persuasion
F#m
headaches and allegations.
Amaj7
That's why I'd rather be a loner
Ab
Yeah I'd rather be alone
Abm
I don't even want to know ya
F#m
I don't want to be known
Amaj7
Cause I'd rather be a loner
Ab
I'd much rather be alone
Abm
Baby it was nice to know ya
F#m

version 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
standard tuning
no capo
Chords: C#m (xxx654)
C+ (xxx554)
G#m (xxx444)
A (xx765x)
i personally think those chord fingerings go better with the song,
plus they're much easier to switch back and forth to.
btw the same chord progressing continues throughout the entire song.
