F#m
Yeah!
E A
Last Friday night I wasn't me
C#m A
I was a still life trapped in eternity
E A B
I was the focal point; out of focus, out of ink
E A C#m A
And I’ve been wandering nightly through the garden of your heartache
E A B
Always making a mess, always stumbling out the door
A
But I don’t wanna be an asshole anymore

Baby, maybe I’ll be good to you

[Verse]
E A
Another night, I devour the sun
C#m A
Plunge myself into the depths of oblivion
E A
Yeah somewhere along the way I found wine
B
Feels damn good just to bleed sometimes
E A
All I ever wanted was to make things right
C#m A
Years of idleness and spite
E A
I push my emotions off a bridge,
B
I’ve been taking them hostage with a shotgun
A
Now I'm somewhere treading water,
A
Somewhere lost inside the the man that I'm not
A
But I don’t wanna be an asshole anymore
{Chorus]
E C#m
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
A
Baby, maybe I’ll be good to you
E C#m
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

I’ll be good to you

I'll be good, I'll be good

I'll be good.

A A/G#
I won’t lie no
F#m
more about where I’ve been
E A A/G#
And I won’t pry no
F#m C#m
more over the people that you’re hanging with
E A B
You’re the only lover that I ever missed
C#m
And have been hopelessly in love with
E A B
Look at this tangle of thorns
E A A/G# F#m
I don’t wanna be an asshole anymore
E A A/G# F#m
Yeah, I don’t wanna be an asshole anymore
A A/G# F#m E
Oh no, no, no
