Chords in this song

D-DU-UDU
Here  she Comes again with another boyfriend,
 introduces me and says,
"this  is the sweetest guy I've ever known."
Couldn't  say a word. I never say a word.
She  wraps her arms around my neck.
"You  are the sweetest guy I've ever known.
And  I say again "THIS IS THE LAST TIME"
There  she goes again she says I'm her best friend
 and "we're better off this way" she says
cause you're  still the sweetest guy I've ever known.
Her  smell stays on my shirt, I can't say a word
can't  swallow this lump inside my neck
cause  you're still the sweetest girl I've ever known.
 (chorus)
When  you left before I didn't care too much
Cause  I just wished you'd go away
And I  see you now and it's just too much
Takes  my breath away...Just like a sucker punch
(solo)

And  I said before.....

 Valentino
She  got a valentine from Gary
I opened  it up it said, "Would you please be mine."
I  gave her flowers and some candy
She  opened them up and said, "You're trying to make me fat."
 (now)
I just  want a new girlfriend
I just  want someone to make me laugh
I just  want a new girlfriend
I just  want someone to laugh at me
not  to smart, not to tall
likes  to watch TV and play basketball
I  baught a car and let her drive it
She  opened the door and said, "Oh bother, this is red."
I  gave her all my notes from algebra
She  opened em up and said, "I can't believe you're so stupid."

Oh,oh,oh,oh!
 Belgium
Lately  I feel so small
Or  maybe  its just that my bed has grown
I never  noticed it before but you were there
So  how  was I to know
 That this single bed
Was always  meant for two
Not  just anyone
It  was  meant for me and youCHORUS
And now  your halfway round the world
And im  just a day behind
Nothin  seems to fill the hole
That  i have since you left my side
You'll  always be my little girl
Though  i cant hold you tonight
And  now your halfway round the world
And i'm  just a day behind
 ( )  x 2
I wake  up in the night
I turn  around and find that you're not there
I just  like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love  to feel you near
I  think im going crazy
Everyday  confusion starts to grow
I  never noticed it before
But you  were there so how was I to know
 The Bitch Song
 The Bitch Song
Is  it OK if I speak to you today
You've  been pissed off for a week now
but,  nothing I could say could make you look up.
Or  crack up. Is there anything that I can do
 Anything to show you
 (chorus)
You're  a bitch
but,  I love you anyway
OH  OH You can't sing
But,  You still put me to sleep
Baby,  You're a bitch
Hey  Hey Hey Hey
You  make me sick
But,  Don't ever go away G D
 So you tell me that there's nothing left to say
I  drive you face the window
Then  you're in my face telling me to grow up
I  wish you'd grow up
I  can't wait until you fall asleep, I wonder if you know that (chorus)

 Pictures He Drew
 He got up this morning
 Rolled out of bed
 And went out to change the world
 Her head on his shoulder
 He settles her down
 It all started over and over again
(w/effects)
His  mom made him breakfast
Gets  on the bus Goes out to see the world
He  lies  on the ground, wipes blood from his nose
Wonders  why he's the one that doesn't fit In
 (chorus)
The  pictures he drew
But  if only they told him
You're  never gonna be like anyone
And  that's okay
Give  into your feelings
Don't  give in to the ones that will own ya
Sometimes  they just don't go away
 (w/effects)
Six double  martinis, a night on the town
 It sure makes the mornings long
He  never  imagined a life time like this would be
The  only thing to let him get in Break down:
He  gets up
He  falls down
Wishes  he could get the nerve to end it all now
He  picks up the phone
And  he slams it down
 And swallows another
Now  he'll never come around
It's  all or none
It's  one for one
 You can make it
D
But ya' gotta do it all for yourself

Everybody  knows if you've got the coolest clothes
you've  got everybody on your side
Anyone  can see if you hang around with me
you'll  be by yourself on friday night
It's  hard to understand
If  you never lose you never learn to want to win
When  it all comes down
all  around you now
Don't  let it bring you down
You had  all the moves you had all the coolest doos
and you  always had the coolest car
I never  learned to dance, I had hair down to my ass
and now  I'm gonna be a Rock Star
Raise  your hands
Stomp  your feet
I love  everyone  and now they love me

Back  there somewhere
I  can  here her calling out .
I've  got  so much I can tell her
She  knows I miss her,
I  know  she thinks about me too.
I can  just cannot wait to kiss her
On the  boulevard we danced
I  tell her if I get the chance
Just  what all this means to me.
Maybe  I'll just say we can run away
Never  look back
Never  doubt it.
You don't  owe me anything
I  owe  everything to you
Take  my hand and
Hold  on.
 Solo in middle of song is same as beginning
 Chords are
 Dance With You
 ( )  x 2
How's it  feel to be alone now
how's it  feel to be by yourself
you got  me, I didn't get you back
then  you got me, again
 (chorus)
You got  inside through a hole in my defenses
and how  you fit I'll never understand
but you got  into me, and I got into you
and now,  I wanna do it again
How's it  feel to know now
whatcha think  'bout that
you got  me, now we can't go back
you'll  never get me again
I only  wanna Dance with you
I only  wanna Dance with you
You  go up down turn around merry go round and round
shake  it shake it two time dose doe cotten eyed joe
run  around pull me down never gonna come around
I'm never  gonna forget you
 Hang On
I used  to see you every morning
Even  when I didn't want to
You  used to like to watch us play downtown
As  long as I sang a song for you
But  nothing stays the same
And  it's drivin' me insane
Oh, you  know we've got it so bad
And  nothing you can say
Can  make me want to stay
But still  you're hangin' on

All I  needed was an answer
I didn't  ask for nothin more
and she  said, "just leave your jacket at the door"
and  we were locked inside
again  it started here we go
 if you can help me let me know. C G F
 So she asked if I could stay there
and I  say we've been through this before
 and she said, "just tell me, what do you expect here?"
and  we were locked inside
again  it started here we go
 you can hold my hand, but
 (chorus)
Don't  go back on me
Just  remember that it's gonna be alright
and  you'll see we can have it all
Can't you  see that I'm right here waiting, looking back at you
YOU and  me, we've got nothing to lose. Oh yeah!
So  she  wraps me up inside her
and I  knew we should not get that far
 and she said, "just close your eyes and say you love me"

and we were locked inside, again..........

All I  need to kill the pain
is  for  someone else to blame
and I've  waited my whole life
I try  to run but I can't hide
 Scope
I  don't know
when  it all  began to simmer down. Suddenly I don't want you around.
And I'm  siting here
I'm drowning  in the worries and the fear.
And now  I wish it wasn't quite as clear.A B A B
 Cause I am starting to forget now
It  dissappears so fast
I'm waiting  for "the Question" to be asked.
And  if you saw me now
you'd  not be dissappointed
somehow  I've gotten to a point
and  I'm not ever coming back
my  minds made up I'm staying for as long as it has taken(to get)
 Close to you, I wanna get, Close to you and
I need  more time, (I wanna get)
 Close to you, I just want, Close to you and
 I'm not sure why! E
 Sometimes I
 I get up in the morning so surprised.
It  takes  me some time to realize.
Lately  I,
 Have really wished that you were still around.
 Here to pick me up off of the ground.

[C]Al[G]l [F]I need to kill the pain
[C]is[G] f[F]or someone else to blame
[C]an[G]d [F]I've waited my whole life
[C]I [G]tr[F]y to run but I can't hide

Scope

[E]I don't know
[A]wh[B]en[E] i[A]t [B]al[E]l began to simmer down. Suddenly I don't want you around.
[A]An[B]d [E]I'm siting here
[A]I'[B]m [E]drowning in the worries and the fear.
[A]An[B]d [E]now I wish it wasn't quite as clear.A B A B
Cause I am starting to forget now
[A]It[B] dissappears so fast
[A]I'[B]m [E]waiting for "the Question" to be asked.
[A]An[B]d if you saw me now
[A]yo[B]u'd not be dissappointed
[A]somehow I've gotten to a point
[B]and I'm not ever coming back
[A]my[B] minds made up I'm staying for as long as it has taken(to get)
[E] [B] [A] [F] [E]

Close to you, I wanna get, Close to you and
[A]I [B]need more time, (I wanna get)
[E] [B] [A] [F] [E]

Close to you, I just want, Close to you and
[A] [B]

I'm not sure why! E
Sometimes I
[A] [B] [E]

I get up in the morning so surprised.
[A]It[B] t[E]akes me some time to realize.
[E]Lately I,
[A] [B] [E]

Have really wished that you were still around.
[A] [B] [E]

Here to pick me up off of the ground.
