Your Aown sense of C#mimportaCnceG  
If it were Aanyone but C#myou, I would not Chesitate Gto
Let you Aknow that I'm C#mnot listCeningG

AYou say you like things when you really just judge it
C#mYou live in this world, that I think it's such a shame
DThat you feel like that there is value placed on people's last names

[Intro]

A C#m C G G

(x8)

[Verse 1]

A C#m C G

No one gave you license to sit in my backseat

A C#m C G

And tell me everything that's on your mind

A C#m C G

You know that usually you have my time of day

A C#m C G

But to be honest, you have crossed the line

A C#m C G

I need space because I'm tired but I'm not gonna deny you

A C#m C G

Your own sense of importance

A C#m C G

If it were anyone but you, I would not hesitate to

A C#m C G

Let you know that I'm not listening

[Chorus 1]

You've got champagne taste on a beer can budget

You say you like things when you really just judge it

C#m

You live in this world, that I think it's such a shame

That you feel like that there is value placed on people's last names

A C#m C G G

[Verse 2]

A C#m C G

Everything you throw at me is coming out of nowhere

A C#m C G

Like bruises from the night before

A C#m C G

You're an old Hotmail account that will never be renounced

A C#m C G

'Cause you hold things that can't be ignored

A C#m C G

You know my credit card is maxed and I'm behind on my tax

A C#m C G

But you still try to draw blood from the stone

A C#m C G

I need a minute to relax, so pretty please get off my back

A C#m C G

I'm pleading with my hands on my knees

[Chorus 2]

We both know that you know better

You don't get five when you put two and two together

C#m

I'm not convinced you have a lack of empathy

You're just a misery guts, taking it all out on me
