NIKI (Nicole Zefanya) – Backburner (Guitar)

        G                               D
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling

          Am                         C
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling

         G                                D
And for once, I don't care about what you want

                    Am                        C
As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)

                    G                           D
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched

           Am                        C
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that

                     G
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined

         D                                Am
Clearly, I've not learned 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         Em
The way you should be, too

          C
But you bring them up

          D
Along with how much I fucking miss you

G                    D                            Am
  Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried

                     C                         G
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die

                     D
You'd think I'd be a fast learner

             Am                      C               G
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner

G
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                             G
How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?

                     D
After everything you put me through

                   Am              C
I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh

    C            D
But I know in a week or so

        G     D    Em
You'll fade away again

            C
And I wish that I cared

               D
Hey, are you still there? Good

G                    D                            Am
  Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried

                              C                              G
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time

                   D
I thought I was a fast learner

             Am                      C               G
But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind

                 D                        Am
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride

                 C                       G
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes

                                           D
(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner

          Am                        C                   G         D
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, oh-oh

           Am                        C                  G         D
Oh, and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh

             Am                      C               G         D
Oh, guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh

                          Am                 C       G
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner)
