Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | D |

[Verse 1]
Am C
    I can't lie,
G                              D
 it feels nice that you're calling
          Am
You sound sad and alone,
              C
and you're stalling
And for once,
G                                D
 I don't care about what you want
                       Am
As long as we keep talking
C
 I mean,
               G                        D
you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
             Am
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
C
 Well,
              G
whether we're free of will or predestined
Clearly,
    D
I've not learned my lesson even now
Am
  Hope He doesn't strike me down

[Pre-Chorus]
C       C              D
 The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
       G    D/F#       Em
The way you should be, too
G       C
But you bring them up
          D
Along with how much I fucking miss you

[Chorus]
G                   D
 Maybe I'm just not better than this,
               Am
I haven't tried
                    C                            G
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
                     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]
D
 Your backburner
Am
  Your backburner

[Verse 2]
C           G
 It's pathetic, but at least you are,
   D
too
                       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            C
I somehow still believe  in you, ohoh

[Pre-Chorus]
    C           D
But I know in a week or so
       G        D/F#     Em     G         C
You'll fade away    again  And I wish that I cared
             D
Hey, are you still there?
Good

[Chorus]
G                   D
 Maybe I'm just not better than this,
               Am
I haven't tried
                            C
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more
    G
time
                  D
I thought I was a fast learner
            Am
But guess I won't ever mind,
             C
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
                  D
I'll always be in your corner
         Am                            C
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your
        G
backburner

[Post-Chorus]
Oh,
D      Am                           C                   G
 and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner
Oh,
D        Am                          C               C
 guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner

[Outro]
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh,
ohoh
