Intro 
E 
It's because I know she's a disaster 
E 
A walking mess, a master of misery 
E 
She's everything that possibly could go wrong 
E                           B 
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy 

And now I know that she's the one for me 

verse 1 
E 
I'm finding that I can no longer deny it 
N.C. 
The risk of perjury 
N.C. 
But my only hope 
N.C. 
I can find my way back without being a casualty 
           A 
With every blink of an eye she will constantly try 
     E 
To destroy everything with a will to survive 
                        C#m 
But it's alright if you ask me 
        B                  E                  A 
I'll go all night cause in this case anything goes 
     E          C#m      E 
They want, you need to see 

                            A

She's everything that possibly could go wrong 
       A                    B 
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy 

That's how I know that she will always be 
   E                       B 
My third degree for alarm, emergency 
                A      B 
The bane of our society 

She'll always be a lifelong tragedy 
            A    B                              E 
That's how I know that she's the one for me 

verse 2 
E 
So take your best shot 
E 
I hope your hand is steady 
E 
Because we all know that your aim's not 
E 
Too dead on or accurate 
E 
You couldn't hit a fly 
E 
If you were standing in a pile of shit 
F#m 
Shake yourself off 
G# 
Let me give you a word of advice 
              A          F#m E 
And just save yourself while you still can 
A                  G#m 
Shake yourself off 
F#m 
And don't even think twice about it 
G#                 F# 
Save yourself while you still can 

I don't think that you understand
