Intro : 
G D Am C

        G
i can't lie, it feels nice
            D
that you're calling..
          Am
you sound sad and alone
           C
and you're stalling..

        G
and for once, i don't care
               D
about what you want,
                   Am
as long as we keep talking..
                  C
(as long as we're talking..)
 
                    G
i mean, you gotta admit the history's
        D
kind of unmatched
           Am                      C
asian calvinism- we made it out of that..

                    G
well, whether we're free of will 
or predestined,
        D
clearly i've not learned
               Am
my lesson even now
                          C
hope he doesn't strike me down..
(strike me down)
 
    C                 D
the goo goo dolls are dead to me
    G       D/F#      Em
the way you should be too
 D       C
 but you bring them up
          D
along with how much i fucking miss you..
 
Reff :
G                   D
 maybe i'm just not better than this,
          Am
i haven't tried..
                    C
maybe life's less romantic
                   G
when i don't wanna die..

                    D
you'd think i'd be a fast learner
            Am
but guess i won't ever mind
         C                G
crisping up on your back..burner..
 
G
 your backburner..
D
 your backburner..
Am
 your backburner..
C
 your backburner..

          G                         D
it's pathetic but at least, you are too 
                     Am
i don't know what to do
                           C
i don't like anyone except sometimes you..

               G
and now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
         D
you look ugly when you cry
            Am
but i'm the one you think to call
                C
how do you feel lucky and appalled..

            G
at the same time?
                     D
after everything you put me through 
                  Am             C
i somehow still believe in you.. oh..
(i do, i do, i do)
 
    C           D
but i know in a week or so,
       G     D/F# Em
you'll fade away again
    D      C
and i wish that i cared..
            D
hey are you still there..? good..
 
Reff :
G                   D
 maybe i'm just not better than this,
          Am
i haven't tried..
                           C
cause maybe you'll finally choose me
                      G
after you've had more time..

                  D
i thought i was a fast learner,
            Am
but guess i won't ever mind,
        C
guess i won't ever mind..

G                 D
 maybe i blame my mother bleeding
        Am
into my stride..
                C
maybe it was my father
                  G
and his wandering eyes..
(it's their fault that)

                  D
i'll always be in your corner..
        Am
cause i don't feel alive
            C                  G
'til i'm burning on your back..burner..
 
G  D          Am

          C                 G

 D            Am
ooh.. guess i won't ever mind
         C                G
