🎸 Intro: 

C#m




🎸 Verse 1:
N.C.          C#m
Turn my gaze away
              B
Relieve the impressions
          A
That I've made
                G#7
Like rain in my creeping hand
N.C.        C#m
I want to behave
                B
It's a small concession
         A
All my regressions
        G#7
I don't understand

🎸 Pre-Chorus 1: 
            A           B
But they're painful old news
    E          A
And pale in comparison
   E        A
To choosing you


🎸 Chorus: 
      E                  B
Well
I don't wanna be a menace anymore
             D                 A
What could a menace be good for?
   E               B                        D               A
So I will catch my wandering eye, watch the roses pass me by
         G#7                                         C#m
And I'll try to make my menace into someone you'd adore


🎸 Verse 2:
N.C.               C#m
It's dangerous and short
         B
Covertly calls for
   A
An encore
                 G#7
The attention of strangers
                  C#m
As long as loving lasts
          B
You don't want to
     A
Here forever
                  G#7
Everybody loves a lover


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2: 
          A                B
Well, you really shouldn't ask
           E                 A
'Cause the answer's always, "Always"
     E                A
'Til always is in the past


🎸 Chorus: 
      E                  B
Well
I don't wanna be a menace anymore
             D                 A
What could a menace be good for?
   E               B                        D               A
So I will catch my wandering eye, watch the roses pass me by
         G#7                                         C#m
And I'll try to make my menace into someone you'd adore

🎸 Pre-Chorus 2: 
          A                B
Well, you really shouldn't ask
           E                 A
'Cause the answer's always, "Always"
     E                A
'Til always is in the past


Out-🎸 Chorus: 
      E                  B
Well
I don't wanna be a menace anymore
             D                 A
What could a menace be good for?
   E               B                        D               A
So I will catch my wandering eye, watch the roses pass me by
    E                  B
No
I don't wanna be a menace anymore
             D                  A
What could a menace be good for?
   E               B                        D               A
So I will catch my wandering eye, watch the roses pass me by
         G#7                                         C#m
And I'll try to make my menace into someone you'd adore
