C C/B D Dsus4
I know you find it hard to smile
C C/B D Dsus4
To keep your happiness in style
C C/B D Dsus4
You pass in silence in the morning
C C/B D Dsus4
You know you shouldn't ever try to ignore me


C C/B D Dsus4
And you look to be pretty nervous
C C/B D Dsus4
Sweaty hands and blood shot eyes
C C/B D Dsus4
So hard to identify you
C C/B D Dsus4
Just a loser in a loser's disguise

*CHORUS*
Bm C
She don't back down
D Dsus2 G 
And she won't come around here
Em C
And there's all this talk about dying
C C/B Am
Man, I don't get it for the life of me


C C/B D Dsus4
With your fingernails painted red
C C/B D Dsus4
And your eyes all ready to wed
C C/B D Dsus4
Decorated from head to toe
C C/B D Dsus4
Like a magician in a talent show

*CHORUS*
Bm C
She don't back down
D Dsus2 G 
And she won't come around here
Em C
And there's all this talk about dying
C C/B Am
Man, I don't get it for the life of me


C C/B D Dsus4
So you've smoked your last cigarette
C C/B D Dsus4
Blindfolded on a train from Tibet
C C/B D Dsus4
Broke your last bottle of wine
C C/B D Dsus4
And unraveled your last ball of twine

*CHORUS*
Bm C
She don't back down
D Dsus2 G 
And she won't come around here
Em C
And there's all this talk about dying
C C/B Am
Man, I don't get it for the life of me


Break...just mess around with the chords
and move up the neck with C a little


*CHORUS*
Bm C
She don't back down
D Dsus2 G 
And she won't come around here
Em C
And there's all this talk about dying
C C/B Am
Man, I don't get it for the life of me


C C/B D Dsus4
Well I know you find it hard to smile
C C/B D Dsus4
To keep your happiness in style
C C/B D Dsus4
Pass in silence in the morning
C C/B D Dsus4
You know you don't need to ignore me

Em C
Now there's all this talkin' about dying
C C/B Am
Man, I don't get it for the life of me.
