Verse 1 (guitar 1: acoustic) (1 strum each)

Cadd9      G
 I took a chance, I took a shot
Dsus4           Em7
 And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
Cadd9      G
 You took a swing, I took it hard
Dsus4           Em7
 And down here from the ground I see who you are

Guitar 1 & 2
Guitar 2 - semi distortion

Chorus:
Cadd9             G
 I'm sick and tired of your attitude
            D
 I'm feeling like I don't know you
               Em7
 You tell me that you love me then cut me down
Cadd9           G
 And I need you like a heartbeat
                   D
 But you know you got a mean streak
         Em7  D/F#   G Em7 Cadd9
 Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9     D
 And here's to you and your temper
    G            D/F#   Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night
      Cadd9                 D
 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
         G
 Tell me why

Verse 2
Guitar 1 & 2
Guitar 2 - distortion

Cadd9          G
 You could write a book on
          D          Em7
 How to ruin someones perfect day
Cadd9       G
 Well I get so confused and frustrated
  D           Em7
 Forget what I'm trying to say, oh


Chorus 2:
Cadd9            G
 I'm sick and tired of your reasons
          D
 I got no one to believe in
           Em7           Cadd9
 You tell me that you want me, then push me around
            G
 And I need you like a heartbeat
            D
 But you know you got a mean streak
         Em7  D/F#   G Em7 Cadd9
 Makes me run for cover when you're around
Cadd9     D
 And here's to you and your temper
    G         D/F#   Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night
      Cadd9           D
 And I know that you see what you're doing to me
     G
 Tell me why

Bridge: (distortion guitar 2. 1 strum)
 Em         C
Why... do you have to make me feel small
  G           D
So you can feel whole inside
Em          C
Why... do you have to put down my dreams
  A             C D
So you're the only thing on my mind

Chorus 3:
Cadd9            G
 I'm sick and tired of your attitude
             D
 I'm feeling like I don't know you
           Em7       Cadd9
 You tell me that you want me then cut down
              G
 I'm sick and tired of your reasons
          D
 I got no one to believe in
          Em7 D/F#   G   Em7 Cadd9
 You ask me for my love then you push me around
Cadd9   D
 Here's to you and your temper
    G         D/F#   Em7
 Yes, I remember what you said last night

 Tell me why, why, tell me why, ohh

 I take a step back, let you go
D          Em          G(~)
 I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know
