Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Let the C chord ring here and everytime it's played throughout the verse.
I believe in desperate acts
The kind that make me look stupid - look like a fool
Just keep reinventing myself
It's move or die - I change my form
These days the people I love
are spread so far apart - all out of reach
It's a thin sheet
Across the face - cover me now
Pre-chorus
That's pretty old
That's pretty oooold
I never felt like this before
I say that every hour
I never felt like this before
I say that every hour
It's never going to be like it could have been
Now it's just this room - window looks back
You're a big part of it
But I don't care - you take the lead
And can you really see me now
Like I made me - made me anew
Just like anyone else - safer alone
Repeat Pre-Chorus.
Chorus
So right, so wrong
Another winter's coming on
You win, you lose
It's the same old news - these things go wrong so often
Pick up the phone
And punch your home code
Somewhere, sometime let me make you mine
Lean your head on mine
Like you used to - used to your lean
I don't mind if you're faking it - make it seem real
I'm not asking the questions
I'm not demanding the answers now - take what you give
Right or wrong, just take me, lead me on
I'm going - I'm going
Repeat Chorus. End on C.
So that's it. Pretty simple like most Jawbreaker songs, but amazing nonetheless. Also like
most Jawbreaker songs. And this is one of their best, at least lyrically.
