BRENDAN BENSON - WHAT
From the EXCELLENT Lapalco.
What are you trying to do to Amme, Fgirl?D  E  
I closed my eyes, I don't want to Amsee, FgirlD  E  
I don't want to hear about you and Amhim, FgirlD  E  
I just want to know if it's love that you're Amin, Fgirl.D  G  
'Cause you can't Cpossibly be Eserious about Fhim, girlG  
And he's Cgot to be deElirious if he Fthinks he can G#win
With a Cnot-so-Epretty Fface (Not-so-pretty face)
He's coCme to tEake my Fplace (Come to take my place)
GShe's easily aEmused
And I Amknow 'cause she Ffell for the Dsame shit GI once Eused...
The things you say and the things you Amdo, FgirlD  E  
I've added them up and they don't compAmute, FgirlD  E  
I give you an inch and you take a Ammile, FgirlD  E  
You couldn't say no 'cause it ain't your Amstyle, Fgirl, gDirlE  
But it's Cobvious to mEe that he thinks he's gonna scForeG  
But it's Cnot the case, you Esay you're only Ffriends and nothing Fmmore
But it Cmakes pEerfect Fsense
And I sCpeak frEom expeFrience
She's Geasy to perEsuade
She's a Ampiece of Fcake and he tDhinks he's Ggot her Amade
You said goodDbye to him a Elong, long time agAo
You changed your Dmind, I guess But you Enever let me Aknow
You just Dkeep me Eguessing, Falways Gguessing Dwrong... always Ewrong
SOLO
 Am   F   D   Ex4
'Cause you can't Cpossibly be Eserious about Fhim, girlG  
And he's Cgot to be deElirious if he Fthinks he can G#win
With a Cnot-so-Epretty Fface (Not-so-pretty face)
And a pCoorly tEhrown cFeramic Gvase
It Cmakes Eperfect Fsense
And I Cspeak Efrom Fexperience
GShe's easily cEonfused...
I should Amknow, 'cause she Ffell for the Dsame tricks
I should Amknow, 'cause she Flaughed at the Dsame jokes
I should Amknow, 'cause she Ffell for the Dsame tricks EI once Amused.

BRENDAN BENSON - WHAT

From the EXCELLENT Lapalco.

Am F D E

What are you trying to do to me, girl?

Am F D E

I closed my eyes, I don't want to see, girl

Am F D E

I don't want to hear about you and him, girl

Am F D G

I just want to know if it's love that you're in, girl.

C E F G

'Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl

C E F G#

And he's got to be delirious if he thinks he can win

C E F

With a not-so-pretty face (Not-so-pretty face)

C E F

He's come to take my place (Come to take my place)

G E

She's easily amused

Am F D G E

And I know 'cause she fell for the same shit I once used...

Am F D E

The things you say and the things you do, girl

Am F D E

I've added them up and they don't compute, girl

Am F D E

I give you an inch and you take a mile, girl

Am F D E

You couldn't say no 'cause it ain't your style, girl, girl

C E F G

But it's obvious to me that he thinks he's gonna score

C E F Fm

But it's not the case, you say you're only friends and nothing more

C E F

But it makes perfect sense

C E F

And I speak from experience

G E

She's easy to persuade

Am F D G A

She's a piece of cake and he thinks he's got her made

D E A

You said goodbye to him a long, long time ago

D E A

You changed your mind, I guess But you never let me know

D E F G D E

You just keep me guessing, always guessing wrong... always wrong

SOLO

Am F D E

C E F G

'Cause you can't possibly be serious about him, girl

C E F G#

And he's got to be delirious if he thinks he can win

C E F

With a not-so-pretty face (Not-so-pretty face)

C E F G

And a poorly thrown ceramic vase

C E F

It makes perfect sense

C E F

And I speak from experience

G E

She's easily confused...

Am F D

I should know, 'cause she fell for the same tricks

Am F D

I should know, 'cause she laughed at the same jokes

Am F D E Am

I should know, 'cause she fell for the same tricks I once used.
