I couldn't always tell if it was Em and C or
Em7 and Cadd9 but it really doesn't make a difference,
just play whatever sounds best and is easiest for you!
Cadd9 G
I took a chance, I took a shot
Dsus4 Em7
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
Cadd9 G
You took a swing, I took it hard
Dsus4 Em7
And down here from the ground I see who you are
Cadd9 G
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
D
I'm feeling like I don't know you
Em7
You tell me that you love me then cut me down
Cadd9 G
And I need you like a heartbeat
D
But you know you got a mean streak
Em7 D/F# G Em7 Cadd9
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9 D
And here's to you and your temper
G D/F# Em7
Yes, I remember what you said last night
Cadd9 D
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
G
Tell me why
Cadd9 G
You could write a book on
D Em7
How to ruin someones perfect day
Cadd9 G
Well I get so confused and frustrated
D Em7
Forget what I'm trying to say, oh
Cadd9 G
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
D
I got no one to believe in
Em7 Cadd9
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
G
And I need you like a heartbeat
D
But you know you got a mean streak
Em7 D/F# G Em7 Cadd9
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9 D
And here's to you and your temper
G D/F# Em7
Yes, I remember what you said last night
Cadd9 D
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
G
Tell me why
Em C
Why... do you have to make me feel small
G D
So you can feel whole inside
Em C
Why... do you have to put down my dreams
A C D
So you're the only thing on my mind
Cadd9 G
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
D
I'm feeling like I don't know you
Em7 Cadd9
You tell me that you want me then cut down
G
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
D
I got no one to believe in
Em7 D/F# G Em7 Cadd9
You ask me for my love then you push me around
Cadd9 D
Here's to you and your temper
G D/F# Em7
Yes, I remember what you said last night
Cadd9 D
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
G Em7 Cadd9 D
Tell me why, why, tell me why, ohh
Cadd9 G
I take a step back, let you go
D Em G
I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know
