Stupid Thing by Aimee Mann
Stupid Thing
(capo up 3 frets)
Intro: D CGD CG
D F#m Bm G
Nothing was saving our day
D F#m C G
There was nothing to say but you said something anyway
D F#m Bm G
Claiming I stepped out of line
D F#m C G G/f#
which forced you to leave me as if that idea was mine
Em G
Oh, you stupid thing
D A
Speaking of course as your dear departed
Em G
Oh, you stupid thing
D A
It wasn't me that you outsmarted
Em G
Oh, you stupid thing
D Am G D
stopping it all before it even started
D F#m Bm G
I bet you knew it would come
D F#m C G
that's just like you, to sit back and just play it dumb
D F#m Bm G
One word of warning would help
D F#m C G G/f#
but that sacrifice was made trying to save yourself
[chorus]
[solo]
Bm G D Am G D
Bm G D Am G CGD
D F#m Bm G
Maybe that's just how I am
D F#m C G
to fall where I stand or I'm weak for that kind of man
D F#m Bm G
One who looks helpless and brave
D F#m C (bass notes) C B A G G/f#
but you turned into a coward I don't care for the parts you saved
