Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Now it's simple  to me
Sometimes  you have to let go  when there's
Next  to nothing
You  say yes every time  she says no
 There's more  pain then love
It  comes o shove almost
Every  time you speak
 Somehow you fight
 Something's just crazy
 Somehow it's taking  all the life  left in you
she's  had time to heal
 And she doesn't  need you any longer  and you
Had  time to  drink
 And you call  her to tell her you've  gotten much stronger
 At three  in the morning she  says stop calling cause...
Everyone's  asleep
 Some of us work
 You're driving me crazy
 I learned to get  on with my life
Now  every nights  Friday night
 Picking fights  with your friends
 Somehow trying  to make amends
So  you search for comfort  in a friend
 It's not the same  she won't understand
 You both learned to think alike
 So what was so wrong
 Where's she tonight
 Out there drinking  while you're  left in thinking
 It's taken  all the life  left in you
You're  losing ground
Carrying  that torch
You're  not asking for much
Still  somehow
You'll  wait for her
You  say she'll return
But  you still carry that torch
 That girl
 WHIPPING BOY!!!
