C             C/B              F/A       C 
I've got some cookies from our junk food run 
             F         Am/E              F           Bb          
And here's a couple of beers so let's go create some fun

Of any explanations of what I'm all about 
 Dm Am       Dm         Am              
I'm tired of having to try  
      Dm           Am     Dm     Bb 
To convince you if I go along it all will

So things felt weird but you said that's alright 
     F            Am/E            F         Bb     
That it was not a problem and we could just sit tight 
C            C/B             F/A     C 
And when you said that I was sure I cringed 
           F         Am/E         F           Bb     
'Cause you had no suspicion that I had come unhinged 
     Dm  Am     Dm         Am 
Or just tired I cannot say which 
                Dm   Am               Dm           Bb 
But there's always a hitch that will cause the whole thing to 
 
Dm    Am    Dm          Am 
Backfire I know you had plans 
        Dm           Am              Dm       Bb

I know you'd like to be the St. Bernard 
        F         Am/E        F          Bb     
Who rushes to the rescue when there's an avalance 
C         C/B          F/A      C 
But in my panic I may pull too hard 
        F            Am/E        F              Bb     
And the novice lifeguard gets rushed off in the ambulance 
Dm  Am    Dm            Am 
I'm tired I cannot seem to 
         Dm       Am          Dm         Bb 
Get a message to you that the rescue you planned on has just 
 
Dm   Am     Dm           Am 
Backfired I know you had plans
