G Em C
Well I have learned so very little, when these bones are old and brittle
G Em C
I wait to talk when I should listen, I crowd mistakes with false revisions
G Em C
All my friends are forward thinking, getting hitched and quitting drinking
G Em C
And I can feel them pulling away, as I'm resigned to stay the same
G D Em C A
And you can't even begin to know
G D Em C A C
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"
G Em C
I was once a loyal lover, whose lips did never seek another's
G Em C
But now each love's more like a matchup, a blinding spark that burns out fast
G Em C
And they all conclude with the same sentence, "I've never met someone more self-centered"
G Em C
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like waiting for a bus to work
G D Em C A
And you can't even begin to know
G D Em C A C
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"
G D Em C A
And you can't even begin to believe
G D Em C A C
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
Em C G D
If you deem it so, just cut the cord and go
Em C G D
You'll be fine, there's plenty of hills to climb
G D Em C A
And you can't even begin to know
G D Em C A C
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"
G D Em C A
And you can't even begin to believe
G D Em C A C
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me [x2]
