verse 1 
                  G      F    C 
I really like the makeup sex 
                     G    F    C 
It's the only kind I ever get 
                            G         F     C 
And when I'm gazing longingly in your eyes 
                          G             F  
It's not for you, but the self I left behind 


 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                                  C 
Can you believe it felt so wrong? 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                            F         Em    C 
Can you believe it feels so right? 


verse 2 
                              G    F    C 
I'm sharpening the chip on my shoulder 
                        G F    C 
As I get angrier, I get older 
                                    G        F   C 
There are fewer and fewer people to complain to 
                              G            F  
So I built a ship of shit and direct it at you 

 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                                  C 
Can you believe it felt so wrong? 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                            F         Em    Dm 
Can you believe it feels so right? 


Bridge 

I'll show you mine 
       Dm7                 Am 
If you show me the time of day 
        C         G       Dm 
In your cradlers' glove 

We'll drink some wine 
         Dm7 
With the passing of time 
               C    G      C 
We will surely make love 


                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                                  C 
Can you believe it felt so wrong? 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                            F         Em    C 
Can you believe it feels so right? 


verse 3 
                   G          F    C 
I love you baby, I don't know why 
                     G           F     C 
It's the chemicals I see in your eyes 
                         G            F     C 
And when you touch me, I feel kind of numb 
                       G                 F  
I need you like a baby needs to suck his thumb 

 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                                  C 
Can you believe it felt so wrong? 
                   Am 
Can you believe it 
                   Em 
Can you believe it 
                            F         Em    F  C   Em    C 
Can you believe it feels so right?
