G#m7                               A#7
There's nothing sexier than being listened to
D#sus4                            D#m
If everyone is dying, baby you’d pull through
G#m7                              A#7
I gotta whole lot of yesterdays, don't care
about tomorrow
D#m
You're not a romantic if they don’t even notice you

Can you quietly love and still resent someone
Or are you keeping them close to keep
your eyes on em
Let's speed up the choke
Amphetamine smoke
Awe, look at that face when you're surprising em

Chorus:
 G#m7                   A#7
Yeah I'll be good on my own
                   D#sus4 D#m
When my love isn't good enough
 G#m7                   A#7
Yeah I'll be good on my own
                  D#sus4 D#m
'Cause love isn't good enough
 G#m7                   A#7
Yeah I’ll be good on my own
              D#sus4 D#m
My love isn’t good enough
         G#m7
Now I'm gone
            A#7
And you’re just
      D#sus4 D#m
A memory

Look, I'll take care of you until
you take that for granted
I'll never be a runner up or someone's nominee
But loving me when it’s convenient for you
Is not how I ever planned it
No, I loved you until the day you
said you'd call the cops on me

Do you think that I scare you
Watch your video tapes
Hope you're keeping them cozy
I hope you're keeping them safe
I know they believe you
So I back out our door
I don't wanna be around you anymore

Chorus
