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

 You could write a book on
                   D MajorD                   E minor 7Em7
 How to ruin someones perfect day
Cadd9Cadd9             G+G

So you're the only thing on my mind
