INTRO:

  C5 (let it fade)
  She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
           
  But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

A5
  The good intentions that you had
F5
  Now only came to this
A5
  And although she saw the mark
D5    F5ii 
  The arrow missed.

  C5 (let it fade)
  It isn't exciting reciting the stories
           
  Of kind words turned hurting when routine get boring  

  A5
  Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
  F5
  And both playing in punk rock bands
  A5
  The start was something good
  D5  F5ii
  But some good things must end

  And she said, "It could never survive
  With such differing lives
  One home, one out on tour again

  We may never come back
  The strike of a match
  The candle's buring at both ends."


RIFF 1:(x2)

RIFF 2:(x2)

   And now she knows too much
   And I'm too ***ed up
   It's awkward trying to make my move

   I'll pretend that I'm fine
   Show up right on time
   But I know I'll never be that cool


RIFF 3:

   A5                              
   I never wanted to hold you back
   F5                         A5
   I'm just trying to hold on
   D5     F5ii        
   But my chance is gone

RIFF 4:

   C5  G5                  F5
   I   know / just where / I stand / a boy
   
   Trapped in the body of a man and
   C5                               D5
   I'll take what you're willing to give
                            F5
   And I'll teach myself to live
                            G5
   With a walk-on part of a background shot
          A5    B5         
   From a movie I'm not in


RIFF 1:(x4)
(3rd & 4th time with heavy palm mute and words)
  
    She's so important
    And I'm so retarded

RIFF 3:
    
    A5
    And now I realize
    F5                              A5
    I should have kissed you in L.A.
     
    But I drove home all alone
    D5            F5ii
    As if I had a choice, anyway

RIFF 5:           
    
    G5                   D5
    Where are you coming from?
                         F5
    What are you running from?
                         G5
    Is it so hard to see?
                          D5
    And if you're feeling scared
                         F5
    Remember the time we shared
                      G5
    You know it meant everything (everything)
                           A5         B5 C5
    You know that it meant everything to me
    (C5)
    You know that it meant everything to me
