[Intro]
Em9, C x2


[Verse 1]
       Em9
Well I see you standing there

And your eyes are unaware
               C
That I've been staring at them all night

Wishing the brain behind them cared
          Am
About the way you make me feel

Or how your smile makes me nervous
           D
Or how the fact that you exist

Makes me feel like I have a purpose

            Em9
I'm sick of lying in your bed

While we're both laying down.
            C
You say you want me for a friend,

I hope you know I hate that sound.
      Am
But I will bite my tongue

Because I hate when you're pissed off
               D
But you should know I need your touch

Like falling rain on thirsty crops, but


[Chorus]
C        D               G          D        C 
Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?
          D                   G        D        C  
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart
         D                  G            D           C 
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you
More.
             D(Pause)          
So why won't you...   love me?

Em9, C 


[Verse 2]
       Em9
Well I hate your cigarettes

And the men that you go see
        C
Because one is killing you,

While the other's killing me.
      Am
But I know that you'll stay stubborn

'cause you know I'll stay alone
               D
'cause we both know inside your grasp

Is the only place I feel at home.
      Em9
Now I sit with my guitar,

Write you one more stupid song.
  C
I hate the way you make me feel

Like I'm doing something wrong
           Am
But you'll just have to deal

With all the things that I have mentioned
         D
And I'll hope this song is golden

Like the point of my intentions, but


[Chorus]
C        D           G             D         C
Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?
C         D                   G        D        C
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart
         D                  G            D           C
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you
More.
             D(Pause)
So why won't you...  love me?

1, C


[Verse 3]
             Em9
Well now the beat is done

And there is nothing left to say.
            C 
Pray to the god you don't believe in

That'll you'll love me someday.
            Am 
So when the years that go by

Forget how much I cared
            D 
Put in this song and sing along
                      C
So your heart will be aware


[Outro]
                 D          G          D   C
It's like giving up on everything that you believe
            D          G         D          C
To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve
           D                  G            D           C
And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you

More.
             D(Pause)          Em9(One Strum)
But you just won't...  love me.
