Standard (EADGBE)

If you're ever anywhere 'round here

 just come back I'll give you everything you need this time

 I promise

 not so much the way you hurt me

 it's more like the way you make me want to hurt myself

When you show up it's like a landmine

close enough to leave indelible scars

adhered to one

such impressionable person

don't say names

protect the innocent

he sure needs a break

what if everyone's gotta get back

 just in time, smoke that last cigarette

you're still lingering round the set

 tryin to set me off

(verse chords)

Maybe we can take some time and work this out

I really think the duties here are the same

make it bearable, to be careful

with eachother's emotions

the only way to find out what you're doing

 is for you to envy me

 then we can both stay int'rested

(chorus)

oh Charlena

maybe you should write this down

 so we can get it right next time around

No, Charlena

 It's not as simple as it sounds

 to keep your feet planted on common ground

(verse chords)

If anyone knows you I do

and if anyone can forgive you well I'd try to

but you keep on doing that thing to me

it's like you're dragging me down into your disease

and can't you see that it's bringing me to my knees

what if we could get it all back

 the same way it was before you attacked

 all evidence of decency in me

 and left me in the debris

(chorus chords)

So, Charlena

maybe you could sort this out

and tell me how you feel about it now

oh Charlena

maybe you should just sit down

I'm not sure that it's worth this anyhow.
