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

Cadd9           G
 I took a chance, I took a shot
Dsus4                     Em7
 And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
Cadd9            G
 You took a swing, I took it hard
Dsus4                     Em7
 And down here from the ground I see who you are

Guitar 1 & 2
Guitar 2 - semi distortion

Chorus:
Cadd9                         G
 I'm sick and tired of your attitude
                        D
 I'm feeling like I don't know you
                              Em7
 You tell me that you love me then cut me down
Cadd9                     G
 And I need you like a heartbeat
                                      D
 But you know you got a mean streak
                  Em7   D/F#     G Em7 Cadd9
 Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9          D
 And here's to you and your temper
        G                       D/F#      Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night
           Cadd9                                  D
 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
                 G
 Tell me why

Verse 2
Guitar 1 & 2
Guitar 2 - distortion

Cadd9                   G
 You could write a book on
                   D                   Em7
 How to ruin someones perfect day
Cadd9             G
 Well I get so confused and frustrated

 Forget what I'm trying to say, oh

Cadd9                       G
 I'm sick and tired of your reasons

 I got no one to believe in
                      Em7                     Cadd9
 You tell me that you want me, then push me around
                       G
 And I need you like a heartbeat
                        D
 But you know you got a mean streak
                  Em7   D/F#     G Em7 Cadd9
 Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9          D
 And here's to you and your temper
        G                 D/F#      Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night
           Cadd9                      D
 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
         G
 Tell me why

Bridge: (distortion guitar 2. 1 strum)
  Em                  C
Why... do you have to make me feel small
   G                     D
So you can feel whole inside
Em                    C
Why... do you have to put down my dreams
   A                         C  D
So you're the only thing on my mind

 I'm feeling like I don't know you
                      Em7              Cadd9
 You tell me that you want me then cut down
                            G
 I'm sick and tired of your reasons
                   D
 I got no one to believe in
                   Em7  D/F#     G      Em7 Cadd9
 You ask me for my love then you push me around
Cadd9      D
 Here's to you and your temper
        G                 D/F#      Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night

 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
         G   Em7             Cadd9 D
 Tell me why, why, tell me why,  ohh

Coda:

 I take a step back, let you go

 I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know
