         F#                   C#/F            D#m
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
              B          F#               C#/F
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is
       D#m B
caving in
    F#                   C#/F              D#m
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved...
            B             F#
By a hand that's touched me, and I feel like
  C#/F              D#m
something's gonna give...
                 B
And I'm a little bit angry

C#                                B
Oh well, this ain't over no, not here,
                             C#
not while I still need you around
                             B
You don't owe me, we might change, yeah we
 C#
just might feel good

Chorus:
F#       C#               B         C#
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
F#       C#             B         C#
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
D#m      C#            B     C#
I wanna take you for granted...
D#m      C#            B     C#
I wanna take you for granted...
                 F#
Yeah, I will, I will

(She said) I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when
I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'Cause it's a little bit dirty, well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
'Cause I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, well I can't change
I won't do anything at all

Chorus

D#m                C#/F
Oh, but don't bowl me over,
 B           C#                            D#m
just wait a minute, well it kind of fell apart
        C#/F    B     C#
Things get so crazy, crazy
D#m         C#/F  B   C#
Don't rush this  baby,
D#m         C#/F B    C#
don't rush this baby, baby...

Chorus
