Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
A E7
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
Bm7 D
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling
A E7
And for once
I don't care about what you want
Bm7 D
As long as we keep talking
A E7
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
Bm7 D
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
A
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
E7 Bm7
Clearly
I've not learned my lesson even now
D
Hope He doesn't strike me down
D E7
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
A E7 D
The way you should be too
D
But you bring them up
E7
Along with how much I fucking miss you
Chorus:
A E7 Bm7
Maybe I'm just not better than this
I haven't tried
D A
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
E7
You'd think I'd be a fast learner
Bm7 D
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner
A E7 Bm7 D
Verse 2:
A E7
It's pathetic, but at least you are, too
Bm7
I don't know what to do
D
I don't like anyone except sometimes you
A
And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
E7
You look ugly when you cry
Bm7
But I'm the one you think to call
D A
How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?
E7
After everything you put me through
Bm7 D
I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh
D E7
But I know in a week or so
A E7 D
You'll fade away again
D
And I wish that I cared
E7
Hey, are you still there? Good
Chorus:
A E7 Bm7
Maybe I'm just not better than this
I haven't tried
D A
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time
E7
I thought I was a fast learner
Bm7 D
But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind
A E7 Bm7
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
D A
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
E7
(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner
Bm7 D
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin'
A E7
on your backburner, oh-oh
Bm7 D
And I know that it's sad that I settle
A E7
for the backburner, oh-oh (your backburner)
Bm7 D
Guess I won't ever mind crisping up
A E7
on your backburner, oh-oh (your backburner)
Bm7 D
As long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner, backburner)
