INTRO:
------
E5 B5 C5 G5 (x2)


VERSE 1:
--------
    E5      D5    G5 *
And all the awkward ways 
           E5        D5  G5 *
that you recoil when I get close 
    E5      D5  G5 *
And oh, the awful grin 
               E5       D5 G5 *
that greets me when I'm all alone


VERSE 2:
--------
   E5      D5      G5 *
So down on hands and knees, 
         E5       D5     G5 *
choking, gasping, dripping spit 
E5     D5       G5 *
I just can't make good 
       E5 D5       G5 *
on any of these promises 


CHORUS:
-------
E5                 B5
  Then he asked me, "what does that mean?" 
C5            G5
  What's another word for desperate? 
E5          B5
 Repetition makes an impression 
C5           G5
 What's another word for desperate?
E5 D5 G5 *             E5      D5 G5 *
I won't be around here for too very long


VERSE 3:
--------
   E5      D5   G5 *
So tip the bottle back, 
       E5        D5     G5 *
bubble foam , and watch it break 
E5     D5   G5 *
We can all be sure 
          E5      D5        G5 *
something awful's coming this way 

VERSE 4:
--------
   E5        D5 G5 *
So take this medicine 
            E5     D5      G5 *
and measure doses, take your time 
       E5           D5 G5 *
'cause they'll tear into you 
                E5         D5       G5 *
They will, they will, they will, they will 


REPEAT CHORUS (With "I won't be..." line twice)


INTERLUDE:
----------
E5 D5 G5 * (x4)

    E5           D5 G5 *
And they'll tear into you 
                E5         D5       G5 *
They will, they will, they will, they will


OUTRO: 
------
E5 D5 G5 * (x2)

E5                D5
Take it apart and let it all go 
G5 *
Holdin' it back it's all just so... 
E5              D5
Why did I care? How did it go? 
G5 *
Wait for a while and I guess that 
E5 D5  G5 *             E5      D5 G5 *
I  won't be around here for too very long (x2)
