Intro: G C G C
G D
Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood
Em C
Apparently, I don't have the right attitude
G D
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need
Em C
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me
G D
Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts
Em C
Don't need your phoney pearls of wisdom, you can have them back
G D
Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself

If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be my myself

Am G C D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
G C
She's dead and gone
G D
You've read, 'The Road Less Traveled', you think you know everything
Em C
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing
G D
If you'd look in the mirror, I could tell you what you'd see
Em C
It'd be a real education, tuition's free
G D
How could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw away
Em D G
Everything I wanted and worked for and the dreams, I couldn't even say

Em C G
Guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lie, yeah

C G C G
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to
C G C G
You couldn't understand me, you couldn't even see
C G C G
Your hand before your face, much less me
C G C G
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me
C D G
And I'd have been better off with nothing
