If You Wanted a Song Written About You, All You Had to Do Was Ask

Key: [D]

Chords used:

Bass G---D

i'm [G]throwing away pictures
that i never should have
taken in the [D]first place
and it's [G]cold in my apartment
as i'm changing all the colors
from the [D]brightest reds to grays[A]

well it's [Bm]3 o'clock
on monday morning
[G]i'm just hoping you're
not seeing [D]his face[A]
i've been [Bm]getting calls
in these hotel rooms
[G]long enough to know
that it was [D]him
that took my place[A]

and i hope this makes
you [D]happy now
that the flame we
[G]had is burning out
and i hope you like your
[D/F#]pictures facing down
as even broken [A]hearts
may have their doubts

Bass G---D

and i'm [G]burning
all the letters
hoping that i might forget
her and her [D]bad taste
that she [G]left when
she was leaving me
a life of barely breathing
as she [D]walked out of this place[A]

and you [Bm]dropped the note
and we changed key
you [G]changed yourself
and i changed me
i [D]really didn't see us
singing [A]through this
then you s[Bm]creamed the
bridge and i
cried the verse
and our [G]chorus came
out unrehearsed
and you s[D]miled the
whole way through it
i guess [A]maybe that's
what's worse

(Repeat Chorus 1)

and i'm taking all your
[Bm]memories off the shelf
and i don't need
you or [G]anybody else
so take a look at [D]me
see what you want to see
when you get home[A]

[Bm]take me home
i'd rather die
than be with [G]you
take me home
you have a problem
with the [D]truth
take me home
because this happens
every [A]time
i knew it would...
i knew it would...
(Repeat)

(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat chorus 2)
