You can bash your head against a wall for years,
F#
The wall is not impressed.
BBadd9BsusB
Or you can take a giant step away only to discover,
F#
Your wound's already dressed.
EF#BE
It's not hard to see a beautiful girl,
EF#BE
And imagine the life that you could have with her.
E
But you can't bend time,
F#
nor bind it up with twine.
B
You can try, try,
E
you'll never read her mind.
E
Which is fine, fine,
F#BBadd9B
'Cause she cannot read yours.
BBadd9BsusB
You treat me worse than you treat any stranger.
F#
For my part, I say thanks.
(And you say you’re welcome)
BBadd9BsusB
I am like a cobblestone street, And you,
F#
you're like 50 Sherman tanks.
(That’s a lot of Sherman tanks)
EF#
Roll right over me,
BE
Reduce me to rubble.
EF#
I am Monsieur Bovary,
BE
and you are Madame Trouble.
EF#
So much that what we so grandly call love,
BE
is simply in our heads.
E
How many doors slammed closed,
F#
And stepped-on toes,
B
And songs composed,
E
And poems and prose,
EF#G6
About things we've heard in words nobody said.

You can bash your head against a wall forever,
F#
The wall will never change.
BBadd9BsusB
But if you start to like the bloody bruises,
F#
The wall cannot be blamed.
EF#
I try to make it seem
BE
like I'm over you.
EF#BE
The blindest man alive can see: It simply isn't true.
EF#
Love only lasts as long as it lasts
B
Goes as far as it goes,
E
and it goes pretty goddamn fast.
E
Sometimes love is fun.
F#
Sometimes burdensome.
B
Sometimes hard up.
E
Sometimes hard won.
F#G6
But you only miss it if it's gone.
