Bm Em Am D D5
your talent outshines all that i could ever do or say
Bm Em Am D D5
and me and my jealousy , i stole your songs and passed them off as my own
Bm Em Am D D5
as much as i would like for it not to show
Bm Em Am D D5
you can smell the stink on my breath and in my clothes , it’s so obvious

G A Bm
oh if i could only be half the things you write about in your songs
G A Bm
if i could only mean half as much to anyone

Bm Em Am D D5
and in my arrogance i write pages of anger hate and spite
Bm Em Am D D5
all of the reasons i have to trust . . . absolutely no one
Bm Em Am D D5
today i heard you on my stereo and it shamed me ,
Bm Em Am D D5
yes it shamed me to think that i could be so unoriginal

G A Bm
oh if i could only be half the genius that you are
G A Bm
to feel such honest want , to show love

Bm – C# – D – Bm – Em – A

i would show you love

under solo
Bm C# D Em A

G A Bm
oh if i could only feel half as resolute in my beliefs ,
G A Bm
if i could only sing with such bravery
G A Bm Bm – A – G – F#
i can not explain how much you mean to me
G A Bm
without your words , i would be lost .
