D                 G           A             D
She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
                         G         A
But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

Bm                            D 
The good intentions that you had
                  Bm
Now only came to this
                              G
And although she saw the mark
      A           D
The arrow missed


D                G        A            D  
It isn't exciting reciting the stories
                            G            A       
Of kind words turned hurting when routine gets boring


Bm                                 D
Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
                                Bm
And both playing in punk rock bands
                          G
The start was something good
     A                     D
But some good things must end

 D                               Bm
And she said, "It could never survive
                       G
With such differing lives
               A            D
One home, one out on tour again
                  Bm
We may never come back
                 G
The strike of a match
                A              D
The candle's burning at both ends."

                       Bm
And now she knows too much
                   G
And I'm too fucked up
               A                 D
It's awkward trying to make my move
                       Bm
I'll pretend that I'm fine
                  G
Show up right on time
                  A            Bm
But I know I'll never be that cool

                            D
I never wanted to hold you back
                       G.....A
I just wanted to hold o......n
         G         D         
But my chance is gone

    A
I know

just where
    Bm
I stand

A boy
        G            D
Trapped in the body of a man and

                                  A
I'll take what you're willing to give
                           Bm
And I'll teach myself to live
                           A
With a walk-on part of a background shot
         G           D         A  Bm  G     
From a movie I'm not in

D           A    G    D
She's so important
             A   G 
And I'm so retarded

Bm            G
And now I realize
                             Bm
I should have kissed you in L.A.
                          G
But I drove home all alone
                Bm       A
As if I had a choice, anyway

                G
Where are you coming from?
               D
What are you running from?
                  A
Is it so hard to see?

                G
And if you're feeling scared
               D
Remember the time we shared
                         A
You know it meant everything (everything)
                                      D
You know that it meant everything to me


You know that it meant everything to me.
