   G# minorG#m        BB
Your game, your lovely game
     F#F#
Is like pain and suffering
   G# minorG#m          BB
Your fame, your newly found fame
     F#F#
Is like repeating history

Prechorus:
         G# minorG#m   BB
You know that keeping me around
        F#F#
Makes me just quiver at the sound
       G# minorG#m       BB
Wish I could feed their open mouths
         E MajorE  F#F#
With something worth it

Chorus:
        G# minorG#m
Where is your backbone?
       G# minorG#m      BB
Cause you’re looking very flimsy
   F#F#
I'm breaking down your paper wall
        G# minorG#m
Where is your backbone?
    G# minorG#m       BB
If you hear it sing it with me
F#F#
Everybody take the fall
       G# minorG#m
You look so sound asleep
  BB
I can't believe
       F#F#
That your backbone's missing
                 G# minorG#m (intro)
And you never had a clue at all

G# minorG#m         BB
Believe, no I can't believe
      F#F#
How little all this means to me
    G# minorG#m           BB
You'll see, you'll just have to see
    E MajorE            F#F#
For yourself, the playback is deafening

Prechorus, Chorus

  I should've said...
