Backburner

Intro :
G D Am C

G
i can’t lie, it feels nice
D
that you’re calling..
Am
you sound sad and alone
C
and you’re stalling..

G
and for once, i don’t care
D
about what you want,
Am
as long as we keep talking..
C
(as long as we’re talking..)

G
i mean, you gotta admit the history’s
D
kind of unmatched
Am C
asian calvinism- we made it out of that..

G
well, whether we’re free of will
or predestined,
D
clearly i’ve not learned
Am
my lesson even now
C
hope he doesn’t strike me down..
(strike me down)

C D
the goo goo dolls are dead to me
G D/F# Em
the way you should be too
D C
but you bring them up
D
along with how much i fucking miss you..

Reff :
G D
maybe i’m just not better than this,
Am
i haven’t tried..
C
maybe life’s less romantic
G
when i don’t wanna die..

D
you’d think i’d be a fast learner
Am
but guess i won’t ever mind
C G
crisping up on your back..burner..

G
your backburner..
D
your backburner..
Am
your backburner..
C
your backburner..

G D
it’s pathetic but at least, you are too
Am
i don’t know what to do
C
i don’t like anyone except sometimes you..

G
and now you’re sounding like a hurt puppy
D
you look ugly when you cry
Am
but i’m the one you think to call
C
how do you feel lucky and appalled..

G
at the same time?
D
after everything you put me through
Am C
i somehow still believe in you.. oh..
(i do, i do, i do)

C D
but i know in a week or so,
G D/F# Em
you’ll fade away again
D C
and i wish that i cared..
D
hey are you still there..? good..

Reff :
G D
maybe i’m just not better than this,
Am
i haven’t tried..
C
cause maybe you’ll finally choose me
G
after you’ve had more time..

D
i thought i was a fast learner,
Am
but guess i won’t ever mind,
C
guess i won’t ever mind..

G D
maybe i blame my mother bleeding
Am
into my stride..
C
maybe it was my father
G
and his wandering eyes..
(it’s their fault that)

D
i’ll always be in your corner..
Am
cause i don’t feel alive
C G
‘til i’m burning on your back..burner..

G D Am
ooh.. and i know that it’s sad
C G
that i settle for the back..burner..
D Am
ooh.. guess i won’t ever mind
C G
crisping up on your back..burner..
D Am
oh.. as long as you still think of me..
C G
ooh..
