You can always add it in yourself where the asterisk is, if you feel it necessary

Away from you BmJake and the hAole you've sunk me inDto.D  Bm  
I wGish that I could belong here with yDou and just DbeBm  
But that's not Aall that I'm abDout.D  Em  
Your lGife is built on aBmccidents like meeting me.
You write eEmverything down in your grAocery list pDeople do this.D  
Even iEmnsects buzz like aAirplanes why can't Dwe fly awaDy?Bm

Your dAad died cause his hDeart hurt, arcing away his forty-five yBmears,
Dragging your mAom along.
Well DI don't want that, and neither do you. Neither do Bmyou.
If GI am not fun, and I Dam not interesting,
Perhaps I am not interested in Bmyou, A  
DNeither are you.D  Em  
And you cAan't stand in front of an oven, Dif it's warm,

I wGish that I could belong here, with Dyou, and just Dbe.Bm  
But that's not aAll that I'm about.D.. to do.
