Intro Riff (x8)
Watching your house shrink away in my rear-view mirror
As I drive away
Wishing that I could take back all those words
That meant nothing that I didn't say
A5
I'm trying
F#5                       D5          
To be what you want me to be
A5 
But it's so damn hard to keep playing the part
F#5                     D5           
Of the fool, week after week.

F#5         D5             B5
I think you need some time alone (I think you need some time alone)
F#5         D5             A5           
You say you want someone to call your own
F#5          D5            B5           
Open your eyes, you can suck in your pride
F#5          D5     
You can live your life all on your own.

Riff #1 (x2)

Is this all going to be just another time
That we play this game?
I've tried to convince you that things could be different
But somehow they end up the same
A5
But what
F#5                 D5           
Did you expect from me?  What am I supposed to do?
A5                                                       F#5           
You say that you're starting to feel like you're getting lost
            D5
Well, I do, too.
F#5           D5            B5
I don't wanna live this lie again (I don't wanna live this lie again)
F#5           D5            A5           
I know I'll get it right but I don't know when
F#5           D5            B5           
I'll open my eyes, I've got something in side
F#5           D5                         A5           
I'll just jerk off in my room until then.
