Intro: C5  C5 F5 C5 F5  A5 F5 Bb5

C5             C5              F5       C5
I've got some cookies from our junk food run
             F5         A5              F5           Bb5         
And here's a couple of beers so let's go create some fun
C5             C5        F5     C5
Supplies are limited and I'm all out
     F5      A5             F5       Bb5
Of any explanations of what I'm all about
 D5 A5       D5         A5             
I'm tired of having to try 
      D5           A5     D5     Bb5
To convince you if I go along it all will
D5    A5    D5            A5
Back-fire, I know you had plans
       D5            A5             D5        Bb5
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands
         Bb5        D5    A5       D5
And this isn't the way I pictured it
 A5   D5 A5 D5 Bb5 F5
  Either..


C5              C5                F5      C5
So things felt weird but you said that's alright
     F5            A5            F5         Bb5    
That it was not a problem and we could just sit tight
C5            C5             F5     C5
And when you said that I was sure I cringed
           F5         A5         F5           Bb5    
'Cause you had no suspicion that I had come unhinged
     D5  A5     D5         A5
Or just tired I cannot say which
                D5   A5               D5           Bb5
But there's always a hitch that will cause the whole thing to


D5    A5    D5          A5
Backfire I know you had plans
        D5           A5              D5       Bb5  
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands now


D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 

D5                 Bb5
But it's out of my hands now
D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 Bb5 F5

C5            C5           F5      C5
I know you'd like to be the St. Bernard
        F5         A5        F5          Bb5    
Who rushes to the rescue when there's an avalance
C5         C5          F5      C5
But in my panic I may pull too hard
        F5            A5        F5              Bb5    
And the novice lifeguard gets rushed off in the ambulance
D5  A5    D5            A5
I'm tired I cannot seem to
         D5       A5          D5         Bb5
Get a message to you that the rescue you planned on has just


D5   A5     D5           A5
Backfired I know you had plans
         D5          A5             D5        Bb5  
Your intentions were grand but it's out of my hands now
D5 A5  D5       A5         D5 A5 
           it's out of my hands now 
         Bb5        D5    A5       D5 A5         D5       A5  D5
And this isn't the way I pictured it either... (its out of my hands, its out of my hands now) 3x
