One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay!

.If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake

No, we're somewhere in between
       E                            B
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night
Even then you didn't care

It's a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
    B
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
      E
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby, don't look so surprised
  B
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
      E
But we're nice to her in public cause we're grown up and mature
   B
Not friends
                       E
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me and you couldn't really actually explain
  B
I cried, then I told you it was cool

God, you haven't changed at all
