Capo : fret 5
(Intro) DAEmGD
I can't lie, it feels nice
A
that you're calling..
Em
you sound sad and alone..
G
and you're stalling..
D
and for once, I don't care about
A
what you want..
Em
as long as we keep talking..
G
(as long as we're talking..)
D
I mean, you gotta admit the history's
A
kind of unmatched..
Em
asian calvinism..
G
we made it out of that..
D
well, whether we're free of will
or predestined,
A
clearly I've not learned
Em
my lesson even now..
G
hope he doesn't strike me down..
GA
the goo goo dolls are dead to me
D -A/C#Bm
the way you should be too
-AG
but you bring them up..
A
along with how much I f*cking miss you..
(Chorus)
DA
maybe I'm just not better than this,
Em
I haven't tried..
G
maybe life's less romantic
D
when I don't wanna die..
A
you'd think I'd be a fast learner
Em
but guess I won't ever mind
G (D)
crisping up on your back..burner..
DA
(your backburner.. your backburner..)
EmG
(your backburner.. your backburner..)
D
it's pathetic but at least,
A
you are too
Em
I don't know what to do
G
I don't like anyone except sometimes you
D
and now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
A
you look ugly when you cry
Em
but I'm the one you think to call
G
how do you feel lucky and appalled..
D
at the same time
A
after everything you put me through
Em
I somehow still believe in you..
G
ooh.. (I do, I do, I do)
GA
but I know in a week or so,
D -A/C#Bm
you'll fade away again
-AG
and I wish that I cared..
A
hey are you still there? good..
(Chorus)
DA
maybe I'm just not better than this,
Em
I haven't tried..
G
cause maybe you'll finally choose me
D
after you've had more time..
A
I thought I was a fast learner,
Em
but guess I won't ever mind,
G
guess I won't ever mind..
DA
maybe I blame my mother bleeding
Em
into my stride..
G
maybe it was my father
D
and his wandering eyes..
(it's their fault that)
A
I'll always be in your corner
Em
cause I don't feel alive
GD
'til I'm burning on your back..burner..
AEm
ooh.. and I know that it's sad
GD
that I settle for the back..burner..
AEm
ooh.. guess I won't ever mind
GD
crisping up on your back..burner..
AEm
oh.. as long as you still think of me..
GD
oo ooh.. (backburner)
