Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
I don't really feel I'm on my own
Because nobody here ever leaves me alone
To blink now would be wrong
I might define you in this song
And I don't know if you'd really like the things that I've become...
Verse
I don't think I'll write another act,
The first one was too long and now in actual fact,
All my moneys in this play
But the actors ran away
Now I'm working on a rewrite that retells it all for one...
Chorus
In the battle between book smarts and fright,
There's no telling who's the winner here tonight
Tear the tickets up and throw them all away,
There's nothing new you haven't heard me say
Verse
I'm not giving up but, this won't last,
Auditions done but curtain call is coming fast,
To run now would be cheap,
And I hope you're losing sleep,
But you know there's only one of us who'll make the cast for good.
Chorus
In the battle between book smart and fright,
There's no contest who's the winner here tonight,
Tear the tickets up and throw them all away,
There's nothing new you haven't heard me say
Outro
And carved into my door is how you like me now,
And written on my wall is now you like me how?
And carved into my door is how you like me now,
And written on my wall is now you like me how?
The little bass riff in the intro and that switches back from the chorus to
the verse is:
