A5 , D5 , G5 ,


A5              D5             G5            A5
Your talent outshines all that I could ever do or say
          D5               G5
and me and my jealousy, I stole your songs and passed them off as my own
A5       D5                G5            A5
As much as I would like for it not to show
D5                                    G5
you can smell the stink on my breath and in my clothes, it's so obvious


F5                  C5               A5
oh if I could only be half the things you write about in your songs
F5                 C5   A5      
if I could only mean half as much to anyone


            D5            G5             A5 
and in my arrogance I write pages of anger hate and spite
D5                            G5
all of the reasons I have to trust... absolutely no one
A5   D5                    G5              A5
today I heard you on my stereo and it shamed me, 
                    D5                   G5
yes it shamed me to think that I could be so unoriginal


F5                 C5               A5
oh if I could only be half the genius that you are
F5               C5                  A5    E5   C5      D5
to feel such honest want, to show looooooooooooooooooove
G5
I would show you love
                A5     E5    C5      D5
I would show you looooooooooooooooooove
G5
I would show you love


F5                     C5                     A5
oh if I could only feel half as resolute in my beliefs,
F5           C5                 A5
if I could only sing with such bravery
F5          C5                 A5     C5      E5
I can not explain how much you mean to me
F5             C5                A5
without your words, I would be lost...
