Intro: Am

(still Am )          G
How do you find the guy around here
     F       E              Am
I've already sped through a year
     G                     Am
I've already tried all the campus bars at night
    G          F     E      Am
and even cried alone at the diner

F
Somewhere there's a prince
       G
and he likes to strike me down
  Am
I know I'm not the reason
    G
I am just the one he found

F
And all these other cowards,
            G
they're not hard to boss around
         Am
you just get them in your arms
        G                   F (hold)
and you hold them till they drown

  Am                                 G
I walked back to the cottage with no hand around my wrist
       F                  E             Am
when I heard the sound of vodka bottles breaking
  G                               Am
I went out to the clearing, he was standing with a fist
      G                F         E      Am
but I couldn't see the face that he was making

   F
He said make me some dinner
          G
I said "I thought you'd never ask"
       Am
he was standing in my kitchen
      G
I was filling up his glass

   F
He finally started screaming
    G
and pointing to the bed
   Am
he wanted me to kill him
      G               F (hold)
but I took his life instead

     F
Ugly moments
       G (hold)
strung together
                                        F
and the poor guy couldn't even find his temper

       F               E       Am
And he could no longer make me cry
            F    E             Am
I guess the boss inside of him died
            F    E             Am
I guess the boss inside of him died
            F    E             Am
I guess the boss inside of him died
