Aimee Mann – Backfire (Guitar)

C             C/B              F/A       C
I've got some cookies from our junk food run

             F         Am/E              F           Bb         
And here's a couple of beers so let's go create some fun

C             C/B        F/A     C
Supplies are limited and I'm all out

     F      Am/E             F       Bb
Of any explanations of what I'm all about

 Dm Am       Dm         Am             
I'm tired of having to try 

      Dm           Am     Dm     Bb
To convince you if I go along it all will

Dm    Am    Dm            Am
Back-fire, I know you had plans

       Dm            Am             Dm        Bb
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands

         Bb        Dm    Am       Dm
And this isn't the way I pictured it

 Am   Dm Am Dm Bb F
  Either..

C              C/B                F/A      C
So things felt weird but you said that's alright

     F            Am/E            F         Bb    
That it was not a problem and we could just sit tight

C            C/B             F/A     C
And when you said that I was sure I cringed

           F         Am/E         F           Bb    
'Cause you had no suspicion that I had come unhinged

     Dm  Am     Dm         Am
Or just tired I cannot say which

                Dm   Am               Dm           Bb
But there's always a hitch that will cause the whole thing to

Dm    Am    Dm          Am
Backfire I know you had plans

        Dm           Am              Dm       Bb  
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands now

Dm                 Bb
But it's out of my hands now

C            C/B           F/A      C
I know you'd like to be the St. Bernard

        F         Am/E        F          Bb    
Who rushes to the rescue when there's an avalance

C         C/B          F/A      C
But in my panic I may pull too hard

        F            Am/E        F              Bb    
And the novice lifeguard gets rushed off in the ambulance

Dm  Am    Dm            Am
I'm tired I cannot seem to

         Dm       Am          Dm         Bb
Get a message to you that the rescue you planned on has just

Dm   Am     Dm           Am
Backfired I know you had plans

         Dm          Am             Dm        Bb  
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands now

Dm Am  Dm       Am         Dm Am 
           it's out of my hands now 

         Bb        Dm    Am       Dm Am         Dm       Am  Dm
And this isn't the way I pictured it either... (its out of my hands, its out of my hands now) 3x
