B Badd9 Bsus
You Bcan bash your head against a wall for years,
F#The wall is not impressed.
B Badd9 Bsus
Or yBou can take a giant step away only to discover,
F#Your wound's already dressed.
EIt's not haF#rd to see a beautBiful girl, E
E F# B
AndE imagine the life that you could have with her.
EBut you can't bend time,
F#nor bind it up with twine.
BYou can try, try,
Eyou'll never read her mind.
EWhich is fine, fine,
F#'Cause she cannot read Byours. Badd9 B
B Badd9 Bsus
You Btreat me worse than you treat any stranger.
F#For my part, I say thanks.
(And you say you’re welcome)
BI am like a cobBadd9blestone street, AnBsusd you, B
F#you're like 50 Sherman tanks.
(That’s a lot of Sherman tanks)
ERoll right over mF#e,
BReduce me to rubble. E
EI am Monsieur Bovary,F#
Band you are Madame Trouble. E
ESo much that what we so gF#randly call love,
Bis simply in our heads. E
EHow many doors slammed closed,
F#And stepped-on toes,
BAnd songs composed,
EAnd poems and prose,
EAbout things we've heard in woF#rds nobody said. G6

B Badd9 Bsus
You Bcan bash your head against a wall forever,
F#The wall will never change.
BBut if you stBadd9art to like the bloody bruBsusises, B
F#The wall cannot be blamed.
EI try to make it seF#em
Blike I'm over you.E
E F# B
The Eblindest man alive can see: It simply isn't true.
ELove only lasts as long as it laF#sts
Goes as far as it Bgoes,
and it goes pretty goddamn Efast.
ESometimes love is fun.
Sometimes burdensomF#e.
BSometimes hard up.
ESometimes hard won.
But you only miss it F#if it's gone. G6
