[Verse 1]
C
  She didn't mean to 
F            G
  deceive you believe me
C
  But sometimes the 
       F       G
hardest part is conceiving
 
 
Refrain 1:
Am
  The good intentions
         F
that you had
Now only came to
Am
this And although 
she saw the mark
Dm    F
  The arrow missed
 
 
Verse 2:
C
  It isn't exciting 
F         G
  reciting the stories
C
  Of kind words turned hurting
F             G
  when routine gets boring  
 
 
Refrain 2:
Am
  Both getting tired 
             F
of punk rock clubs
And both playing
             Am
in punk rock bands
The start was
something good
Dm    F
  But some good
things must end

Verse 3:
            C
And she said "It
               F
could never survive
With such differing
G
lives One home one
F            C
out on tour again
We may never come
F
back The strike of
  G
a match The candle's
F
buring at both ends"
 
 
Interlude: C-F-G-F- x2
 
 
Verse 4:
C                       F
  And now she knows too much
                   G
And I'm too fucked up
             F
It's awkward trying 
           C
to make my move
I'll pretend that I'm
F
fine Show up right on
G
time But I know I'll 
F
never be that cool
 
 
Refrain 3:
Am
  I never wanted to hold you
F
back I'm just trying to hold
Am Dm        F
on    But my chance is gone
 
 
Chorus:
C   G                  F
  I know just where I stand a boy
Trapped in the body of a man and
C
  I'll take what you're willing to 
Dm
give And I'll teach myself to 
F
live With a walk-on part 
     G
of a background shot
       F     G
From a movie I'm not in
 
 
Interlude: C-F-G-F- x2
 
 
Bridge:
C F          G  F
  She's so important
C     F        G  F
  And I'm so retarded
 
 
Refrain 4:
Am             F
  And now I realize
                              Am
I should have kissed you in L.A.
But I drove home all alone
   Dm         F         G
As if I had a choice anyway
              Dm
Where are you coming from?
             F
What are you running from?
                 G
Is it so hard to see?
              Dm
And if you're feeling scared
             F
Remember the time we shared
You know it meant
     G
everything (everything)
You know that it meant
F    G        C F G F C F
everything to me
    G
You know that it meant 
F
everything to me
