And I’m (F)all you (Gm)need and that you’d (F)nev er want (Bb)more.

Then (F)you’d say (Gm7)all of the right things with out a (Bbmaj7)clue.

(F)But you’d save the (Gm)best for last like I’m the one for you.

You should (F)know that you’re (Gm)just a (Am)tem po rar y (Bb)fix.

This is not (F)root ed with (Gm9)you, it don’t (Am)mean that much to (Bb)me.

You’re just a (F)fill er in the (Gm)space that (Am)hap pened to be (Bb)free.

How (F)dare you think you’d (Gm)get a way with (Am)try ing to play (Bb)me?

Yeah.

(CN.C.)Why is it ev ’ry time I think I’ve tried my hard est, it turns out it ain’t e nough?

You’re still not men tion ing love.

What am I sup posed to do to make you want me prop ’ly?
