Intro:  D   G   D  G  
Verse 1:
From the Dminute that i met here she was different than the rest
But i Adidn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
                                                              Bm  G-Bm-A-G-Bm-A  
And I wish I would have listened 'cause I think I might have seen the signs
DNow it's been a couple months and I can
She's Abeen pushing every button she's been working every nerve
                                                       Bm  G-Bm-A-G-Bm-A  
I've got something she can swallow it sure as hell's not my pride
[Chorus]
DYeah I know it's just a Awaste of time
BmSoon I'm gonna Grun out of lies
DShe'll just Ahave to hear the Bmtruth instGead
DEveryday I'm gonna Amake her cry
BmTill the minute that we Gsay goodbye
BbI'm gonna make her Cwish... she was dead
Verse 2:
i used to Dhang out with my homies gettin stupid every night
Till I Amet her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
                                                 Bm  G-Bm-A-G-Bm-A  
I got to get away from her I think I'm running out of time
'Cause I Dthink I'm gonna die whenever she's behind the wheel
And it Adrives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel
                                                 Bm  G-Bm-A-G-Bm-A  
I don't really want to talk so I tell her that I'm doing fine
There's Ggot to be a way that i Bbcan get it through her Chead
[Chorus]
DYeah I know it's just a Awaste of time
BmSoon I'm gonna Grun out of lies
DShe'll just Ahave to hear the Bmtruth instGead
DEveryday I'm gonna Amake her cry
BmTill the minute that we Gsay goodbye
BbI'm gonna make her Cwish... she was dead
DI'm going crazy and she Gwon't let me go
                           Bm     A  G-Bm-A  
The lease gets tighter every day
