Tom : D
A C#m C G
No one gave you license to sit in my backseat
A C#m C G
And tell me everything that's on your mind
A C#m C G
You know that usually you have my time of day
A C#m C G
But to be honest, you have crossed the line
A C#m C G
I need space because I'm tired but I'm not gonna deny you
A C#m C G
Your own sense of importance
A C#m C G
If it were anyone but you, I would not hesitate to
A C#m C G
Let you know that I'm not listening
[Chorus 1]
G
You've got champagne taste on a beer can budget
A
You say you like things when you really just judge it
C#m
You live in this world, that I think it's such a shame
D
That you feel like that there is value placed on people's last names

[Verse 2]
A C#m C G
Everything you throw at me is coming out of nowhere
A C#m C G
Like bruises from the night before
A C#m C G
You're an old Hotmail account that will never be renounced
A C#m C G
'Cause you hold things that can't be ignored
A C#m C G
You know my credit card is maxed and I'm behind on my tax
A C#m C G
But you still try to draw blood from the stone
A C#m C G
I need a minute to relax, so pretty please get off my back
A C#m C G
I'm pleading with my hands on my knees
[Chorus 2]
G
We both know that you know better
A
You don't get five when you put two and two together
C#m
I'm not convinced you have a lack of empathy
D
You're just a misery guts, taking it all out on me
Riff:
E|----5------5------5----3-3---------------------| (x4)
