This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane 
             F                    C                G 
I would have been there when they told you I'm the rat within the grain 
            C            G               Am            E 
Within this big misunderstanding now I'm being misunderstood 
            F                   C                    G 
I'm thinkin someone's trying to fuck with me and set fire to my wood 

           F           G          C 
I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me 
           Dm                         G 
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea 
       C            G             Am           E 
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true 
           F          (C)           G         C 
In truth I only really wanted to be wanted by you 


    C          G               Am              E 
The stupid situation now where everything goes wrong 
             F            C                 G 
If you can't tell if I am lying then you do not belong 
      C              G             Am                E 
In my bed go rest your head upon the bones of a bigger man 
           F              C                    G 
And he can cover you with rockwool and you can close up like a clam 


                 F           G          C 
Cause I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me 
           Dm                         G 
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea 
       C            G             Am           E 
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true 
           F          (C)           G         C 
In truth I only really wanted to be wanted by you

So go play with your piano write a mediocre song 
          F            C             G 
About the shell of mediocrity and pretend there's nothing wrong 
        C                  G                    Am           E

Until you asked me to be part of it and now you're showing me your wall 

           F           G          C
