Secondary

                        G
And it comes down to you. Never and 
ever.
            D
Wrecked his day with looks and 
flirts
    A                G
and midnight in your shortest 
skirts.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                             
Past the point of trying, I'm a 
  G
dying breed.
                D             A
Thank her for reminding me of all 
the things
     G               D
I've done completely wrong.

[Chorus]
     A                 D           
Stop these looks and letters. This 
G             D
isn't for the better.
    A                 G
You put me down. It's for the worse,
 you're not my girl.

[Verse 2]
               G                   
Stop the circulation to my legs and
 D
 break my bones.

Dateless and late, I'm better by 
mysef at home.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
D                                 
Past the point of trying, and I'm

dying here.

Secondary. She laughs at every word 
I know came
G              D
out completely wrong.

[Chorus]
     A                 D           
Stop these looks and letters. This 
G             D
isn't for the better.
    A                 G           
You put me down. It's for the 
                      D
worse, you're not my girl.
     A                 D           
Stop these looks and letters. This 
G             D
isn't for the better.
    A                 G
You put me down. It's for the worse,
 you're not my girl.

  It's my last semester.  And 
    A        G          D
brothers always come first.
               G               
It's my last semester. At least 
            D
until next winter.
                          A    G
But I'm sure that I'll be over this 
by then.

Better scenes I wish she'd seen 
D           G             D
me.  Better off if I just let it be.
           Stop these looks and 
letters. This isn't for the better.
              A                 G
Better pretend it don't matter. I'd 
be better off if I could have her.
          You put me down. it's for 
the worse, you're not my girl.
D                     A          
Better days since the day I met 
       D              G     
her. I better hope she got my 
        D
letters.
                 Stop these looks 
and letters.    This isn't for the 
better.
              A        G
Better off in two year stretches.
       You're not  my  girl.
