Intro  

E    B   D   A   B   A B  
La   la   la  la  la  


verse 1  
E      B               D                 A  
Well I guess I'm just here to test your patience  
E     B          G#m                  A  
Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all  
E   G#m   D         A               
Is it my lack of education?   
     B   C#m  A  
Just tell me why you never call  


verse 2  
E            B              D            A  
Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference  
E         B                   G#m                  A  
There are those who own their minds and those who crawl  
E      G#m      D               A  
No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading  
E        F#m          G#m       A                      B           A  B  
You look out for your own, and you ain't gonna look at me that way  


Pre-Chorus  
A   E     B    A  B  
And it's true  
   A          E  
So what can I do?  

E B F#m Anything to get some of your affection A (What can I do?) E B F#m Maybe impress you with a song A (What can I do?) E B C#m B A B A B I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you
Break E G#m D A verse 3 E B D A I found that postcard from that trip you took to Thailand E B G#m A I remember studying all the words writ in your pretty hand E G#m D A The little lines the little curves held a sacred meaning B C#m A Or so I thought, but I had it wrong verse 4 E B D A Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms E B G#m A I feel them wriggling in my blood, you gonna do me harm E G#m D A Right now I'd rather lose this losing feeling E F#m G#m That came on when you cooled off A B A B Started treating me in this friendly way Pre-Chorus A E B A B And it's true A E So what can I do?
E B F#m Oh won't you be still for a moment A (What can I do?) E B F#m So I can push a feather through your heart A (What can I do?) E B C#m B A B A B A B A B I'm trying to minimize the damage done cause there ain't no one like you A E So what can I do? E B F#m When I get lonely to distraction A (What can I do?) E B F#m Maybe impress you with a song A (What can I do?) E B No easy way aound it C#m B A B A B You're the saddest dream that ever came true
Outro E B D A La la la la E G#m D A B La la la la la
