Intro C G Dm F
C
i can't lie, it feels nice
G
that you're calling..
Dm
you sound sad and alone
F
and you're stalling..
C
and for once, i don't care
G
about what you want,
Dm
as long as we keep talking..
F
(as long as we're talking..)
C
i mean, you gotta admit the history's
G
kind of unmatched
Dm F
asian calvinism- we made it out of that..
C
well, whether we're free of will
or predestined,
G
clearly i've not learned
Dm
my lesson even now
F
hope he doesn't strike me down..
(strike me down)
F G
the goo goo dolls are dead to me
C -G/B -Am
the way you should be too
-G F
but you bring them up
G
along with how much i fucking miss you..
Chorus
C G
maybe i'm just not better than this,
Dm
i haven't tried..
F
maybe life's less romantic
C
when i don't wanna die..
G
you'd think i'd be a fast learner
Dm
but guess i won't ever mind
F (C)
crisping up on your back..burner..
C
your backburner..
G
your backburner..
Dm
your backburner..
F
your backburner..
C G
it's pathetic but at least, you are too
Dm
i don't know what to do
F
i don't like anyone except sometimes you..
C
and now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
G
you look ugly when you cry
Dm
but i'm the one you think to call
F
how do you feel lucky and appalled..
C
at the same time?
G
after everything you put me through
Dm F
i somehow still believe in you.. oh..
(i do, i do, i do)
F G
but i know in a week or so,
C -G/B-Am
you'll fade away again
-G F
and i wish that i cared..
G
hey are you still there..? good..
Chorus
C G
maybe i'm just not better than this,
Dm
i haven't tried..
F
cause maybe you'll finally choose me
C
after you've had more time..
G
i thought i was a fast learner,
Dm
but guess i won't ever mind,
F
guess i won't ever mind..
C G
maybe i blame my mother bleeding
Dm
into my stride..
F
maybe it was my father
C
and his wandering eyes..
(it's their fault that)
G
i'll always be in your corner..
Dm
cause i don't feel alive
F (C)
'til i'm burning on your back..burner..
C G Dm
ooh.. and i know that it's sad
F C
that i settle for the back..burner..
G Dm
ooh.. guess i won't ever mind
F C
crisping up on your back..burner..
G Dm
oh.. as long as you still think of me..
F C
ooh..
