Verse 1 (guitar 1: acoustic) (1 strum each)

Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
 I took a chance, I took a shot
Dsus4Dsus4           E minor 7Em7
 And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
 You took a swing, I took it hard
Dsus4Dsus4           E minor 7Em7
 And down here from the ground I see who you are

Guitar 1 & 2
Guitar 2 - semi distortion

Chorus:
Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
 I'm sick and tired of your attitude
            D MajorD
 I'm feeling like I don't know you
               E minor 7Em7
 You tell me that you love me then cut me down
Cadd9Cadd9           G+G
 And I need you like a heartbeat
                   D MajorD
 But you know you got a mean streak
         E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#   G+G E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9
 Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD
 And here's to you and your temper
    G+G            D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night
      Cadd9Cadd9                 D MajorD
 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
         G+G
 Tell me why
