Intro
B5 (let it fade)
She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving
G#5
The good intentions that you had
E5
Now only came to this
G#5
And although she saw the mark
C#5 F5ii
The arrow missed.
B5 (let it fade)
It isn't exciting reciting the stories
Of kind words turned hurting when routine get boring
G#5
Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
E5
And both playing in punk rock bands
G#5
The start was something good
C#5 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 fucked 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:
G#5
I never wanted to hold you back
E5 G#5
I'm just trying to hold on
C#5 F5ii
But my chance is gone
RIFF 4:
B5 F#5 E5
I know / just where / I stand / a boy
Trapped in the body of a man and
B5 C#5
I'll take what you're willing to give
E5
And I'll teach myself to live
F#5
With a walk-on part of a background shot
G#5 A#5
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:
G#5
And now I realize
E5 G#5
I should have kissed you in L.A.
But I drove home all alone
C#5 F5ii
As if I had a choice, anyway
RIFF 5:
F#5 C#5
Where are you coming from?
E5
What are you running from?
F#5
Is it so hard to see?
C#5
And if you're feeling scared
E5
Remember the time we shared
F#5
You know it meant everything (everything)
G#5 A#5 B5
You know that it meant everything to me
(C5)
You know that it meant everything to me
RIFF 1:(x2)
I think it's pretty accurate but if there's any mistakes please e-mail. It's better to listen to
the song to know the exact picking.
