On Ga picture perfect day on the way

(He stole you too)
            G*              D*      C*
All of the nights that I've spent alone
          G*             D*        C*
Am I the dog who doesn't get the bone
Chorus:
TGell me what I gotta do
Gotta Dwalk across the wire for you
Gotta Ccatch a bullet in my teeth
Do pusGhups in the desert heat
Tame a Glion, get black and blue

Is Cso good-lookin and he's twice as strong
(he's twice as strong)
            G*              D*        C*
All of the days that I've dreamed of love

* = one strum

I remember when we were five

A couple of kids sitting side by side

On a picture perfect day on the way

to school

Along came Brendon Jimmy James

With his golden hair and his angel face

He stole my brand new bike

and my girlfriend too

(He stole you too)

G* D* C*

All of the nights that I've spent alone

G* D* C*

Am I the dog who doesn't get the bone

Chorus:

Tell me what I gotta do

Gotta walk across the wire for you

Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth

Do pushups in the desert heat

Tame a lion, get black and blue

From boxing with a kangaroo

Still you never notice what it is I'm going through

G D C

How do I get to be the guy who gets to be with you

How do I get to be with you

Midnight strikes and the line is long

For the monster movie marathon

When I get the guts to ask you to the prom

Thanks but no you say to me

'Cause Captain Dan on the football team

Is so good-lookin and he's twice as strong

(he's twice as strong)

G* D* C*

All of the days that I've dreamed of love

G* D* C*

My time has come now - I've dreamed enough

Chorus:

Tell me what I gotta do

Gotta walk across the wire for you

Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth

Do pushups in the desert heat

Tame a lion, get black and blue

From boxing with a kangaroo

Still you never notice what it is I'm going through

G D C

How do I get to be the guy who gets to be with you

How do I get to be with you

C* G*

I can see us in the future

Girl in the picture

Where are you now

C* G*

Remember when you see me waving

It's not 'cause I'm waving

You're watching me drown

G* D* C*

All of the nights that I've spent alone

G* D* C*

Why can't you throw this dog a bone

Chorus:

Tell me what I gotta do

Gotta walk across the wire for you

Gotta catch a bullet in my teeth

Do pushups in the desert heat

Tame a lion, get black and blue

From boxing with a kangaroo

Still you never notice what it is I'm going through

G D C

How do I get to be the guy who gets to be with you

Shoot myself into outer space

Lose the cops in a getaway chase

G D C

How do I get to be the guy who gets to be with you

Save a baby in a burning fire

Be the man that you desire

G D C

How do I get to be the guy who gets to be with you

How do I get to be with you
