Chords with lyrics

♫ Intro:

G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC


♫ Verse 1:
    G+G                D MajorD
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
     A minorAm             C majorC
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling
     G+G                D MajorD
And for once
I don't care about what you want
          A minorAm            C majorC
As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)
          G+G              D MajorD
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
      A minorAm            C majorC
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
           G+G
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
     D MajorD                A minorAm
Clearly
I've not learned my lesson even now
              C majorC
Hope he doesn't strike me down (Strike me down)

♫ Pre-Chorus:
   C majorC         D MajorD
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
   G+G    D MajorD     C majorC
The way you should be, too
     C majorC
But you bring them up
     D MajorD
Along with how much I fucking miss you

♫ Chorus:
G+G          D MajorD              A minorAm
 Maybe I'm just not better than this
I haven't tried
           C majorC             G+G
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
G+G           D MajorD
You'd think I'd be a fast learner
       A minorAm           C majorC        G+G
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner

♫ Post-Chorus:
G+G
Backburner
  D MajorD
Your backburner
  A minorAm
Your backburner
  C majorC
Your backburner

♫ Verse 2:
     G+G              D MajorD
It's pathetic, but at least you are, too
D MajorD          A minorAm
I don't know what to do
              C majorC
I don't like anyone except sometimes you
        G+G
And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
     D MajorD
You look ugly when you cry
      A minorAm
But I'm the one you think to call
         C majorC               G+G
How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?
           D MajorD
After everything you put me through
          A minorAm       G+G
I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh

♫ Pre-Chorus 2:
  C majorC      D MajorD
But I know in a week or so
    G+G   D MajorD  C majorC
You'll fade away again
      C majorC
And I wish that I cared
        D MajorD
Hey, are you still there? Good

♫ Chorus 2:
G+G          D MajorD              A minorAm
 Maybe I'm just not better than this
I haven't tried
               C majorC               G+G
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time
G+G         D MajorD
I thought I was a fast learner
       A minorAm           C majorC        G+G
But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind
G+G        D MajorD            A minorAm
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
         C majorC            G+G
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
G+G                     D MajorD
(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner
     A minorAm            C majorC          G+G     D MajorD
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, oh-oh


♫ Outro:
      A minorAm            C majorC         G+G     D MajorD
Oh, and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh
       A minorAm           C majorC        G+G     D MajorD
Oh, guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh
             A minorAm         C majorC    G+G
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner)
