Intro
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
Verse 1
[G] [D]
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
[Am] [C]
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling
[G] [D]
And for once, I don't care about what you want
[Am] [C]
As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)
[G] [D]
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
[Am] [C]
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
[G]
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
[D] [Am]
Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now
[C]
Hope he doesn't strike me down (Strike me down)
Pre-Chorus
[C] [D]
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
[G] [D] [Em]
The way you should be, too
[C]
But you bring them up
[D]
Along with how much I fucking miss you
Chorus
[G] [D] [Am]
Maybe I'm just not better than this, 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]
[G]
Backburner
[D]
Your backburner
[Am]
Your backburner
[C]
Your backburner
Verse 2
[G] [D]
It's pathetic, but at least you are, 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, oh-oh
Pre-Chorus 2
[C] [D]
But I know in a week or so
[G] [D] [Em]
You'll fade away again
[C]
And I wish that I cared
[D]
Hey, are you still there? Good
Chorus 2
[G] [D] [Am]
Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
[C] [G]
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time
[D]
I thought I was a fast learner
[Am] [C] [G]
But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind
[D] [Am]
Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
[C] [G]
Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
[D]
(It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner
[Am] [C] [G] [D]
'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, oh-oh
Outro
[Am] [C] [G] [D]
Oh, and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh
[Am] [C] [G] [D]
Oh, guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh
[Am] [C] [G]
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner)
