We are standing
On the thrEmeshold
Of a decent cGonversation
When i can hear the Bmdoor

I know the face yAou’re
Making
And i really want to tEmalk
To you
I really really wanGted to
But once you get your
Mind mBmade up
There is no getting
AThrough to you
For a while it was touEmching
For a while it was chaGllenging
Before it became tBmypical
And now it really
Isn’t inAteresting
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
I’m lying on the sEmofa
And the radio is bGlaring
And i’m scanning
Through the statBmions
As the boys declare
Their feelAmings
But it doesn’t
Feel like feEmelings
It feels like
They’re preteGnding
It’s like they
Just want blowBmjobs
And they know these
Songs will gAet them
And i really want to taEmlk
To you
I really really waGnted to
But i have learned my lBmesson now
And you’re not the one
I’m tAurning to
And for a while it was
EmTouching
For a while it was chGallenging
Before it got habBmitual
And now it really
Isn’t intereAsting
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
EmI was the fGirst to warn youBm  A  
EmI lay myselGf before youBm  A  
EmI was the fGirst to warn youBm  A  
EmI put mGyself before youBm  A  
WEme are standing on the
Corner
And you’re throwing
Down the gauGntlet
It is not a life deF#mcision
We just need
To pick a resAtaurant
After all this i should Emknow
You
Well enough not to get
GInto it
I should learn but I’m an
F#mIdiot
You oAnly want an argument
EmAnd for a while it was
Touching
It was almost even coGmforting
Before it became Bmtypical
And now it really
Is not intereAsting
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
To see a gEmrown man crGyBm  A  
To see a gEmrown manG  Bm  A  
Throw a temper fit
To see a grown man
CGross his arms
And sit as if the
Whole wide wBmorld would end
If he was not a Apart of it
But at the same time
With no coEmnfidence
Never realizing
The cGonsequence he’s having
On the ones Bmhe loves
Because he thinks
He makes no difAference
We are standing
On the thrEmeshold
Of a decent cGonversation
When i can hear the Bmdoor
Slam
I know the face yAou’re
Making
And i really want to tEmalk
To you
I really really wanGted to
But once you get your
Mind mBmade up
There is no getting
AThrough to you

Chords in this song · guitar

F#m

We are standing

On the threshold

Of a decent conversation

When i can hear the door

Slam

I know the face you’re

Making

And i really want to talk

To you

I really really wanted to

But once you get your

Mind made up

There is no getting

Through to you

For a while it was touching

For a while it was challenging

Before it became typical

And now it really

Isn’t interesting

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

I’m lying on the sofa

And the radio is blaring

And i’m scanning

Through the stations

As the boys declare

Their feelings

But it doesn’t

Feel like feelings

It feels like

They’re pretending

It’s like they

Just want blowjobs

And they know these

Songs will get them

And i really want to talk

To you

I really really wanted to

But i have learned my lesson now

And you’re not the one

I’m turning to

And for a while it was

Touching

For a while it was challenging

Before it got habitual

And now it really

Isn’t interesting

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

Em G Bm A

I was the first to warn you

Em G Bm A

I lay myself before you

Em G Bm A

I was the first to warn you

Em G Bm A

I put myself before you

We are standing on the

Corner

And you’re throwing

Down the gauntlet

F#m

It is not a life decision

We just need

To pick a restaurant

After all this i should know

You

Well enough not to get

Into it

I should learn but I’m an

F#m

Idiot

You only want an argument

And for a while it was

Touching

It was almost even comforting

Before it became typical

And now it really

Is not interesting

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man cry

Em G Bm A

To see a grown man

Throw a temper fit

To see a grown man

Cross his arms

And sit as if the

Whole wide world would end

If he was not a part of it

But at the same time

With no confidence

Never realizing

The consequence he’s having

On the ones he loves

Because he thinks

He makes no difference

We are standing

On the threshold

Of a decent conversation

When i can hear the door

Slam

I know the face you’re

Making

And i really want to talk

To you

I really really wanted to

But once you get your

Mind made up

There is no getting

Through to you
