Standard (EADGBE)

My manner is imperious

 My logic is empirical

 And I’m bad at being a girlfriend

 So I’m hoping for a miracle

I fear your disappointment

When I don’t turn out ethereal

Though either way for me

I know it means some new material

 Now don’t go thinkin’ that you’re special

Just because you are

 ’Cause I’m bound to overthink it

 And I always go too far

Chorus

But if you think this kind of tempest

 May just be your cup of tea

 Then I’d like to offer you

 The heart of me

Each attempt to clarify

Serves only to confuse

And it feels just like a fracture

But it looks more like a bruise

And my heart can’t bear the weight

Of one more empty “I love you”

And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness

Trying to find a point of view

Now don’t go thinkin’ that I’m crazy

Just because I am

’Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent

If I didn’t give a damn

Chorus

Now don’t go thinkin’ that I love you

Just because I do

’Cause I’ve never met a certainty

I couldn’t misconstrue

Chorus

Yes, I’d like to offer you

The heart of me
