   Dm        A#   A
I know it's wrong and I'm
Dm               A#   A
sure you don't appreciate
   Dm                 A# A
my tone I just get so mad
    Dm               A#
I'm not afraid as I tell
   A     A#    A
myself I am I love-

Chorus:
      Dm         C/E
to be wanted but all
   F             A#
I want is to be loved
           A
Is that so much to
     Dm
be remembered
C/E     F
Never swept
          A#
under the rug
             G/B
They say the soul
don't die But
Dm
mine's been dead
    A/C#
for my whole life
A#               A
And I wouldn't trade
           Dm   F C/E Dm F
it for anything

And there will be a day
When I sadly outlive all my useful traits
And when I look back
I want to know we were more than just a fad
