G D And if I always seemed distracted, Am7 D Like my mind is somewhere else G D C D That's because it's true, yes it's true G D It's the stupid pride that makes me feel Am7 D Like I have to follow through G D C D Even half-assedly, loving you Am D C D Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?

Am Try to make you love me as much as I love you? D How could you be so low? G D C D You arrogant man, Em D C D What do you think that I am? Am D My heart will be fine Am D Just stop wasting my time G D And now I know that you will be okay Am7 D And that I got what I want G D And that's rid of you C D Good-bye G D And its not cause I'll be missing you Am7 D That makes me fall apart G D It's just that I didn't mean to break Am7 D No, I didn't mean to break C D No, I didn't mean to break G D C D Your heart G D C D Your heart Tabbed out by: Melissa Arnold Questions/Comments: SpeedyMA12@aol.com Corrected by Mike Masinick, Jan 12, 1998 - mmasinic@eng.miami.edu
