| Dm            | Dm            | C             | C             |
| Dm            | F**     G**   | C             | C*            |

[Verse 1]
                    Dm       Dm
It's a pretty tired   story,
                          C          C
know this happens all the time.
                       Dm      Dm
That don't make it any better,
                                C          C
that won't make you change your mind.

[Bridge 1]
                          Dm          Dm
With every touch I say, I   dare you,
                         C          C
desperate to know you're mine.
                       Dm         F**
So afraid that I might scare you away,
              G**                C      C*
friendship 's more than love sometimes.

[Chorus]
                                  F           G
I'm something less than something more to you,
                                C            C
just something here to pass the time.
                              F       G
Something less than something more to you.
                        C           C*
Does it ever cross your mind?

[Verse 2]
                           Dm       Dm
Picked a pretty shirt this morning,
                                      C          C
thought that stripes might catch your eye.
                         Dm      Dm
Looked at me the same as   always,
                      C          C*
I told myself another lie.

[Chorus]
                                  F           G
I'm something less than something more to you,
                                C            C
just something here to pass the time.
                              F       G
Something less than something more to you.
                        C           C*
Does it ever cross your mind?

[Bridge]
                        Em                          Dm
Does it ever cross your mind where I might be going?
                       Dm                        C
Who I might be seeing,   that you even caught my eye?
                        Em                               Dm
Does it ever cross your mind. We could fight each other?
                F      F      G      G*
Am I only doing time?

[Chorus]
                              F*           G
Something less than something more to you,
                                C            C
just something here to pass the time.
                              F       G
Something less than something more to you.
                        C           C
Does it ever cross your mind?

[Verse 3]
                       Dm*
Ride to places where I shouldn't,
                             C*
just so you'd see me passing by.
                               Dm*
I know you're not there in the window,
                          C*
I guess it never hurts to try.

[End-Chorus]
