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

(Verse)
E                        Abm
If you're ever anywhere 'round here
          A                                 Am
just come back I'll give you everything you need this time
      E
I promise
                        Abm
not so much the way you hurt me
          A                                 Am/B
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

E    D       A          C         E
what if      everyone's gotta get back
        D     A           C            E
just in time, smoke that last cigarette
D            A         C          E
you're still lingering round the set
   D     A        C
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#m                  A                      C#m
the only way to find out what you're doing
              A          C#m
is for you to envy me
            A
then we can both stay int'rested

(chorus)
E      E/B
oh Charlena
D                A          E
maybe you should write this down
   E/B           D          A
so we can get it right next time around
E       E/B
No, Charlena
     D             A        E
It's not as simple as it sounds
   E/B            D           A
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

E    D  A        C          E
what if we could get it all back
         D      A      C       C#m
the same way it was before you attacked
                A             C#m
all evidence of decency in me
               A
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.
