[Intro]
G D Am C
[Verse 1]
G D
I can’t lie, it feels nice that you’re calling
Am C
You sound sad and alone, and you’re stalling
G D
And for once, I don’t care about what you want
Am C
As long as we keep talking (As long as we’re talking)
G D
I mean, you gotta admit the history’s kind of unmatched
Am C
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
G
Well, whether we’re free of will or predestined\
D Am
Clearly, I’ve not learned my lesson even now
C
Hope he doesn’t strike me down (Strike me down)
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
G D C
The way you should be, too
C
But you bring them up
D
Along with how much I fucking miss you
[Chorus]
G D Am
Maybe I’m just not better than this, I haven’t tried
C G
Maybe life’s less romantic when I don’t wanna die
G D
You’d think I’d be a fast learner
Am C G
But guess I won’t ever mind crisping up on your backburner
[Post-Chorus]
G
Backburner
D
Your backburner
Am
Your backburner
C
Your backburner
[Verse 2]
G D
It’s pathetic, but at least you are, too
D Am
I don’t know what to do
C
I don’t like anyone except sometimes you
G
And now you’re sounding like a hurt puppy
D
You look ugly when you cry
Am
But I’m the one you think to call
C G
How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?
D
After everything you put me through
Am G
I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C D
But I know in a week or so
G D C
You’ll fade away again
C
And I wish that I cared
D
Hey, are you still there? Good
[Chorus 2]
G D Am
Maybe I’m just not better than this, I haven’t tried
C G
‘Cause maybe you’ll finally choose me after you’ve had more time
G D
I thought I was a fast learner
Am C G
But guess I won’t ever mind, guess I won’t ever mind
G D Am
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
C G
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
G D
(It’s their fault that) I’ll always be in your corner
Am C G D
‘Cause I don’t feel alive ’til I’m burnin’ on your backburner, oh-oh
[Outro]
Am C G D
Oh, and I know that it’s sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh
Am C G D
Oh, guess I won’t ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-Doh
Am C G D
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner)
