verse 1: 

G                 Bm           Cadd9             G 
I'm not a mystery everything I think is written down 
Bm               Cadd9         G 
keeping me from keeping you around 
Bm             Cadd9         G      Bm   Cadd9 
can't keep my feet on the ground 


               G           Bm         Cadd9    G 
and there's a million ways I can mess it up I always do 
Bm           Cadd9        G 
making plans and making them too soon 
Bm           Cadd9              G    Bm   Cadd9 
I can't make much sense out of you 



Cadd9      D            G                Em7 
why bother, Cause I'd rather call it off than wait for it to work 
    Cadd9            D             G                Em7 
and why bother, Cause I bet you're better off with some other hopeless jerk 
Cadd9   D        G         Em7 
  and I like you, but what can I do 
         Cadd9         D                 G 
there's too much space to make you stay
