Intro
Am – F – C – G – x4
F – – – : – – G – C G C G
Verse 1
Am – F – C – G – x8
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I got no self-esteem
Chorus 1
Am – F – C – G – x4
Oh hey yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah (x3)
Verse 2
Am – F – C – G – x4
We make plans to go out at night
I wait 'til 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
Chorus 2
Am – F – C – G – x4
Oh hey yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah (x3)
Bridge 1
Dm – A# – F – C – x7
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well, I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
F – – – : – – G – C G C G
Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Break 1
Am – F – C – G – x2
Verse 3
Am – F – C – G – x8
Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say "No"
But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
Chorus 3
Am – F – C – G – x4
Oh hey yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah (x3)
Bridge 2
Dm – A# – F – C – x7
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well, I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
F – – – : – – G – C G C G
Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah
