Intro:
Dm    Bb    F    Am  C


Chorus:
Dm                            Bb        F
  When I pull the wings off of the fly
        Am            C     Dm
The fly never wonders why I did it
                Bb                   F
When I pull the wings off of the fly
        Am            C
The fly never wonders why I did


Verse 1:
F              Am
 You know they didn't ever
        Dm
Have to love me
Bb
No, no, no
F                Am
 And no one will ever
          Dm
Love them now
Bb          F
Oh, oh, but they
                   C
They always wanted somehow
   Dm
To save me
Bb
Why, oh, why
F           C                    Dm
 For pity's sake, they should've saved themselves
Bb
Oh, oh


Bridge:
    G
But you
           Bb                    Ab     G
You always said I never missed a note
            Bb                Ab    G
I only ever wanted to be with you
Dm              Bb         F
  I only wanted someone to play
Am    C     Dm
Play, play, play


Verse 2:
                Bb            F
When I pull the wings off the fly
        Am            C
The fly never wonders why
F              C                        Dm
 You know they never really ever had to love me
Bb
No, no, no
F                Am             Dm
 But no one will ever love them now
Bb          F
Oh, oh, but they
            Am                              Dm
They always thought that somehow they could save me
    Bb
But why oh why
F                        Am                Dm
 For pity's sake me, they  should've saved themselves
Bb
Oh, oh,


Bridge:
    G
But you
           Bb                    Ab     G
You always said I never missed a note
G           Bb                    Ab      G
 And nobody ever knew me like you do, you do
G           Bb                  Ab G
 You always said it's gonna be ok, ok
G                   Bb                Ab   G
 I only ever really wanted to be with you

When I pull the wings off of the fly
