C
You hate to say it
           Em7
but you’re not okay
Fmaj7
You love this game but
                        C
you know that I won’t play
       Em7               Fmaj7
She’s 23 with a teenage dream
C
Another pull of this
    Em7
and it’s all done
Fmaj7
And for the record in her eyes she’s second to
Am             G             Fmaj7
None from the pills cheap thrills and nicotine

Dm
It’s like I’m digging up a picket fence
Fmaj7
There’s nothing worse than losing confidence
Dm           Am
I still lie awake
              G
with the memories

Chorus:
                C
For crying out loud
              Em7
Tell me something
         Fmaj7
You were all that I want,
but now you made me believe
        Am
That I can’t depend
   G            Fmaj7
On anyone after all
                C
For crying out loud
               Em7
What did you think
    Fmaj7
You say we’re changing and I would agree
     Am
But how can you fight
     G            Fmaj7
The feeling when you don’t feel anything at all

Where can I put you in this one-track mind?
I was growing comfortable with leaving you behind
Is this a never-ending race?
But if I gave you what you want,
would you remember my name?
You were indestructible,
how'd you end up in flames?
And still try to lie straight to my face
My face, oh

Chorus:
For crying out loud, tell me something
You were all that I want,
but now you made me believe
That I can't depend on anyone after all (Whoa-oh)
For crying out loud, what did you think?
You say we're changing and I would agree
But how can you fight the feeling
When you don't feel anything at all?

Fmaj7
It’s like I’m digging
     Am
up a picket fence
G
There’s nothing worse than losing confidence
Fmaj7           Am
So stay close erase
           G
those memories

Chorus:
For crying out loud, tell me something
You were all that I want,
but now you made me believe
That I can't depend on anyone after all
For crying out loud, what did you think?
You say we're changing and I would agree
But how can you fight the feeling
When you don't feel anything and
How can you fight the feeling
When you don't feel anything at all?
(Anything at all)
