Chords

[Intro] B Am F C B Am F C [Verse 1]
B                      Am              F
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance

       C
If you gave it to me

B                  Am                F
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance

     C
It'd race right through me

F         Em             Dm              Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are

F          Em          Dm             Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far
[Verse 2]
B                      Am              F
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice

     C
It'd roll right past me

B                            Am                        F
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice

         C
So don't even ask me

F         Em             Dm              Am
I'm much better off the way things are, are

F          Em          Dm             Am
Much much better off, better by far, by far
[Chorus]
G                            Em                   Bm
       So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

G                    Em                         Bm
       And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone

G                     Em                           Bm
       If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

                Am
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be

F            Am
Able to move on
F Am [Bridge]
F            Em      F                     Em
     How can I fight, when we're on the same side

F            Em             B7
     How can I fight beside you
[Instrumental] B Am F C x2 F C Dm Am x2 Am [Chorus]
G                            Em                   Bm

G                    Em                         Bm
       And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone

G                     Em                           Bm
       If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

                 Am
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be

F            Am
Able to move on
F Am x2 [Chorus]
G                            Em                   Bm
       So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

G                    Em                         Bm
       And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone

G                     Em                           Bm
       If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

                         Em
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be

F            Am
Able to move on
