Capo on 2nd fret
Verse:
CYou think you're so sC/Bmart
C7but baby you're Aplaying a part.
DmI guess I'm gDm/Cuilty again
Gbecause I always lG7et you win.
And you got a heart
but it's weak and it's breaking apart.
Well maybe it's not too late
and we could still resuscitate.
How should I feel
when I thought we had a deal?
We took a break
and now I'm still awaiting my take.
The last time we spoke
you told me my life was a joke.
You laughed 'till you choked
Gand went back to G7mirrors and smoke.C  
Chorus:
And I kept the Fimpression
that you think you're too good Cfor me.
Well I've got a Gmconfession:F  
I was only hoping for some Ccharity.
And it's so Ffrustrating
I just need one good night's sCleep
and I hate the GmwaitinFg just to see if it wiEbll kDmeep.
Interlude:
 C-  C/B-  C7-  A-  Dm-  Dm/C-  G- G7  
Verse:
Your day will come
and that day will pass you by.
The damage is done
and you'll just sit and wonder why.
It's such a shame,
it's a such a forgettable name
but no one's to blame
you went out the way you came.
Chorus:
And I got the impression
that you thought you were too good for me.
well I've got a confession:
I was only looking for some charity.
And it's so frustrating
I just need one good night sleep
and I hate the waiting just to see if it will keep.
Bridge:
EbYou want them C7to like you
Fand always Dneed you Gmthere.
You want them Amto want it,
Dm7you need to Gsus4know they care.
You want them to like you
and always need you there.
You want to be wanted,
You need to know they care.
You want them to like you
and always need you there.
You want them to want it,
you wish that you didn't care.
Interlude
Verse:
So now that you're gone
I still wonder what went wrong.
Abuse what I love,
it's something I'm not very proud of.
You can't admit
that you get so caught up in it.
You've got what you think
is closest to the real thing.

 G-  Gmaj7-  G7-  C-  Am-  Am7-  D-  D- G
