G: Change every downstroke between 320033 and 320003
GIt's really not the waiting
Step on other people's feet
Now it must be deepening
'Cos you were going out with him
Em'Cos you were going out with hGim
EmYou were going out with Ghim
GIt's not the same in this town
Sleazy boy breaks his leg
Wasn't meant to drag him down
But that's exactly what it did
EmPart of him that still wants yGou
EmPart of him is still with yGou
GI'm not paralyzed by fear
It only makes me finish it
Now I sit and think and wait
For him to take it out on me
EmFor him to take it out on Gme
Em'Cos you were going out with Ghim
EmFor him to take it out on Gme
Em'Cos part of him is still with Gyou
