Verse 1:
C Em
Don’t pretend that you don’t know me
F C
If you mean to offend me
G
Then you’re doing pretty well
C Em
And how convincingly you’ve shown me
F C
That the love I thought was built to last
G C
Is now an empty shell
Refrain:
F C
Things can only get better
G
What’s around the corner
C
Who can tell?
F C Am
I’ll build a little place just north of heaven
Dm G C
I’m kinda tired of living south of hell
Verse 2:
C Em
Don’t assume you can ignore me
F C
You’d best bite your lip in case I
G
Make it after all
C Em
And how contemptuously you’ve shown me
F C
That all my aspirations
G C
Were so paltry and so small
Refrain
Bridge:
F
Some mother’s talking ’bout Guns’n’Roses
C
As if I give a fuck
At best I think they suck
F C
I’m too preoccupied with my memories
G
Not nonentities
Refrain
Dm G C Em Am
I’m kinda tired of living south of hell
Dm G
I’m kinda tired of living… C Em Am G F
