[Intro] G G C C G G C C [1st Verse]
   G
My parents raised three only children

            C
We'd had to set little fires for attention

       G
It was only a matter of time

                 C
till it all burned out

   G
In high school I read all the classics

        C
And the only real love ended tragic

          G
I'd throw rocks at her window all night

                     C
She'd throw 'em back down
[Chorus]
Em                   G/B        C
I keep trying to get impossible people

G         D
  To love me

Em                            G/B
I know how it ends but I keep writing

    C         G     D
the same old....story

        Em
There's good in everyone I guess

I lose myself in search of it

........to love me
G G C C G G C C [2nd Verse]
        G
Well, I learned to ignore all the warnings

     C
'Til eggshells felt like hard wood flooring

             G
And when the power goes out I sit in the dark

         C
....and I wait

  G
I guess I still think that's what love is

  C
A card game where everyone's bluffing

             G
I'd lose the shirt off my back, every cent that I have

        C
And you still can't drag me away
