Great song by a relatively unknown band.  Buy their record!

(Verse)
E5                        Ab5
If you're ever anywhere 'round here
          A5                                 A5
just come back I'll give you everything you need this time
      E5
I promise
                        Ab5
not so much the way you hurt me
          A5                                 A5
it's more like the way you make me want to hurt myself

When you show up it's like a landmine
close enough to leave indelible scars
adhered to one
such impressionable person
don't say names
protect the innocent
he sure needs a break

E5    D5       A5          C5         E5
what if      everyone's gotta get back
        D5     A5           C5            E5
just in time, smoke that last cigarette
D5            A5         C5          E5
you're still lingering round the set
   D5     A5        C5
tryin to set me off

(verse chords)
Maybe we can take some time and work this out
I really think the duties here are the same
make it bearable, to be careful
with eachother's emotions

C#5                  A5                      C#5
the only way to find out what you're doing
              A5          C#5
is for you to envy me
            A5
then we can both stay int'rested

(chorus)
E5      E5
oh Charlena
D5                A5          E5
maybe you should write this down
   E5           D5          A5
so we can get it right next time around
E5       E5
No, Charlena
     D5             A5        E5
It's not as simple as it sounds
   E5            D5           A5
to keep your feet planted on common ground

(verse chords)
If anyone knows you I do
and if anyone can forgive you well I'd try to
but you keep on doing that thing to me
it's like you're dragging me down into your disease
and can't you see that it's bringing me to my knees

E5    D5  A5        C5          E5
what if we could get it all back
         D5      A5      C5       C#5
the same way it was before you attacked
                A5             C#5
all evidence of decency in me
               A5
and left me in the debris

(chorus chords)
So, Charlena
maybe you could sort this out
and tell me how you feel about it now

oh Charlena
maybe you should just sit down
I'm not sure that it's worth this anyhow.
