Intro:
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
Verse 1:
I can't [G]lie, it feels nice that you're c[D]calling
You sound [Am]sad and alone, and you're s[C]stalling
And for o[G]once, I don't care about what you [D]want
As long as we keep t[Am]talking -As long as we're t[C]talking-
I mean, you gotta ad[G]admit the history's kind of un[D]unmatched
Asian Calvi[Am]Calvinism, we made it out of th[C]that
Well, whether we're f[G]free of will or predestined
Clearly, [D]I've not learned my lesson even n[Am]now
Hope he doesn't strike me d[C]down -Strike me down-
Pre-Chorus:
The G[C]Goo Goo Dolls are d[D]dead to me
The w[G]way you s[D]should be, [C]too
But you br[C]bring them up
Along with[D]with how much I xxxxing miss you
Chorus:
[G] Maybe I'm just not [D]better than this, I haven't t[Am]tried
Maybe life's less rom[C]romantic when I don't wanna d[G]die
[G]You'd think I'd be a f[D]fast learner
But guess I w[Am]won't ever mind crisping [C]up on your backb[G]backburner
Post-Chorus:
[G]Backburner
Your[D]Your backburner
Your[Am]Your backburner
Your[C]Your backburner
Verse 2:
It's path[G]pathetic, but at least you are, t[D]too
[D]I don't know what to [Am]do
I don't like anyone except [C]sometimes you
And now you're s[G]sounding like a hurt puppy
You look [D]ugly when you cry
But I'm the [Am]one you think to call
How do you feel l[C]lucky and appalled at the same [G]time?
After everything you [D]put me through
I somehow still bel[Am]believe in you, oh-[G]oh-oh
Pre-Chorus 2:
But [C]I know in a w[D]week or so
You'll f[G]ade aw[D]ay ag[C]ain
And I wish t[C]that I cared
Hey, are you st[D]still there? Good
Chorus 2:
[G] Maybe I'm just not [D]better than this, I haven't t[Am]tried
'Cause maybe you'll finally ch[C]choose me after you've had more t[G]time
[G]I thought I was a f[D]fast learner
But guess I w[Am]won't ever mind, guess I [C]won't ever mind [G]
[G]Maybe I blame my [D]mother bleeding into my s[Am]stride
Maybe it was my f[C]father and his wandering [G]eyes
[G]-It's their fault that- I'll always be in y[D]your corner
'Cause I d[Am]on't feel alive 'til I'm b[C]urnin' on your backb[G]urner, oh-[D]oh
Outro:
Oh, and I k[Am]now that it's sad that I s[C]ettle for the backb[G]urner, oh-[D]oh
Oh, guess I w[Am]won't ever mind crisping [C]up on your backb[G]urner, oh-[D]oh
Oh, as long as you still t[Am]hink of me, oh, oh-[C]oh -back[G]burner-
