   Bm  G   D   Gbm  A

Verse:
D
If you were a teacher,
        G
I would  fail your class
       Bm
Take it  over and over
         Gbm         A
'Til you noticed me,
D
If you were a waiting room,
        G
I would  never see a doctor
        D
I would  sit there
                           Gbm   A
With my first aid kit and bleed,

Bridge:
          G             D
I want to be the power ballad
               A                Bm
That lifts you up and hold you down,
        G              D
I wanna be the broken love song
       A            Bm
That feeds your misery,
          G                 D
And I can  wish all that I want,
        G                D
But it won't bring us together,
        A             Bm
Plus I know whatever happens to me,
G                   A        D
I know it's for the be-e-et-ter

Instrumental:
   D   G   Bm  Gbm  A
   Bm  G   D   Gbm  A

Verse:
     D                     G
And when broken bodies are  washed ashore
Bm                    Gbm          A
  Who am I to ask for more, more, more?
          Bm                G
But you're  breathing in my  open mouth,
            D
You're the gun in my lips
          Gbm             A
That will blow my brains out,

Bridge:
           G                  D
I want to make you drive all night
             A            Bm                   G
Just because I said maybe you should come over,
           G                D
I want to make you fall in love
           A                Bm               G
As hard as my poor parents teenage daughter,
               Em            G
She'll be the best you ever had if you let her,
