	        Intro: Am   F   C    G     

Am           F          C          G 
I wrote her off for the tenth time today 
Am           F          C          G 
And practice all the things I would say 
Am           F     C         G 
When she came over I lost my nerve 
Am         F        C        G 
I took her back and made her dessert 
Am    F    C         G 
Now I know I'm being used 
Am     F                C        G 
That's okay man cause I like the abuse 
Am   F       C            G         
I know she's playing with me 
Am        F              C          G 
That's okay 'cause I got no self esteem 

Am    F    C    G 

Am      F        C         G 
We make plans to go out at night 
Am          F         C              G 
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light 
Am       F            C        G 
All this rejection's got me so low 
Am             F           C             G 
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so 

Am   F   C   G 

Am        F            C               G 
When she's saying that she wants only me 
Am     F               C               G 
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends 
Am         F           C             G 
When she's saying that I'm like a disease 
Am      F          C                 G 
Then I wonder how much more I can spend 
Am      F    C              G   
Well I guess I should stick up for myself 
Am     F            C                 G 
But I really think it's better this way 
Am            F      C            G                 F 
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care  
F            F 
Right? Yeah yeah yeah... 

Am  F   C    G 

Am         F     C           G 
Now I'll relate this little bit 
Am            F             C         G 
That happens more than I'd like to admit 
Am     F           C            G  
Late at night she knocks on my door 
Am           F          C           G 
She's drunk again and looking to score 
Am     F   C            G   
Now I know I should say no 
    Am             F                C        G 
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go 
Am       F         C          G 
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb 
Am          F          C           G 
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem 

Am    F   C    G 

Am          F       C            G 
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me 
Am      F              C               G 
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends 
Am          F       C            G          Am 
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease 
        F               C          G 
Then I wonder how much more I can spend 
Am      F    C         G               Am   
Well I guess I should stick up for myself 
       F                 C            G 
But I really think it's better this way 
Am            F      C            G                 F 
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care 
F      F 
Right? Yeah-eh-eh...
