[Verse 1]
A E7 I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling Bm7 D You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling A E7 And for once, I don't care about what you want Bm7 D As long as we keep talking A E7 I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched Bm7 D Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that A Well, whether we're free of will or predestined E7 Bm7 Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now D Hope He doesn't strike me down D E7 The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me A E7 D The way you should be too D But you bring them up E7 Along with how much I fucking miss you
[Chorus]
A E7 Bm7 Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried D A Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die E7 You'd think I'd be a fast learner Bm7 D But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner
A E7 Bm7 D
[Verse 2]
A E7 It's pathetic, but at least you are, too Bm7 I don't know what to do D I don't like anyone except sometimes you A And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy E7 You look ugly when you cry Bm7 But I'm the one you think to call D A How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time? E7 After everything you put me through Bm7 D I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh D E7 But I know in a week or so A E7 D You'll fade away again D And I wish that I cared E7 Hey, are you still there? Good
[Chorus]
A E7 Bm7 Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried D A 'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time E7 I thought I was a fast learner Bm7 D But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind A E7 Bm7 Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride D A Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes E7 (It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner Bm7 D 'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' A E7 on your backburner, oh-oh Bm7 D And I know that it's sad that I settle A E7 for the backburner, oh-oh (your backburner) Bm7 D Guess I won't ever mind crisping up A E7 on your backburner, oh-oh (your backburner) Bm7 D As long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner, backburner)
