Suckerpunch

A D
Here she Comes again with another boyfriend, 
introduces me and says, 
GGG 
"this is the sweetest guy I've ever known." 
A D
Couldn't say a word. I never say a word. 
A
She wraps her arms around my neck. 
D
"You are the sweetest guy I've ever known. 
B G
And I say again "THIS IS THE LAST TIME" 
A D
There she goes again she says I'm her best friend 
and "we're better off this way" she says 
A D GGG
cause you're still the sweetest guy I've ever known. 
A D
Her smell stays on my shirt, I can't say a word 
A
can't swallow this lump inside my neck 
D
cause you're still the sweetest girl I've ever known.
(chorus)
E B A 
When you left before I didn't care too much 
E B A 
Cause I just wished you'd go away 
E B A 
And I see you now and it's just too much 
E B A 
Takes my breath away...Just like a sucker punch 
(solo)

Or crack up. Is there anything that I can do 

Anything to show you

Baby, You're a bitch 
D C 
Hey Hey Hey Hey

You make me sick 
D C 
But, Don't ever go away G D 
So you tell me that there's nothing left to say

I drive you face the window 
G 
Then you're in my face telling me to grow up

Pictures He Drew 

E B C# D 

He got up this morning 

Rolled out of bed 

And went out to change the world 

Her head on his shoulder 

He settles her down 

It all started over and over again 
E B C# D 
(w/effects)
E B 
His mom made him breakfast 
A 
Gets on the bus Goes out to see the world 
E B A 
He lies on the ground, wipes blood from his nose 
E 
Wonders why he's the one that doesn't fit In 
(chorus)
E B 
The pictures he drew 
A D 
But if only they told him 
E B 
You're never gonna be like anyone 
C# D 
And that's okay 
E 
Give into your feelings 
B A D 
Don't give in to the ones that will own ya 
E B C# D 
Sometimes they just don't go away 
(w/effects)
E B A 
Six double martinis, a night on the town 

It sure makes the mornings long 
E B A 
He never imagined a life time like this would be 
E 
The only thing to let him get in Break down: 
A B 
He gets up 
E 
He falls down 
A 
Wishes he could get the nerve to end it all now 
A B 
He picks up the phone 
E 
And he slams it down 

And swallows another 
A 
Now he'll never come around 
A B 
It's all or none 
C 
It's one for one 
You can make it 
D
But ya' gotta do it all for yourself

I'm waiting for "the Question" to be asked.

And if you saw me now

you'd not be dissappointed

somehow I've gotten to a point

and I'm not ever coming back

my minds made up I'm staying for as long as it has taken(to get)

Lately I, 
A B E 


Have really wished that you were still around.

Here to pick me up off of the ground.
