INTRO Em D A C -- 3 times
EmACDEmA
I don't know why you won't leave me alone. Keep your mind off of me,
CDEmD
and keep your fingers away from the phone. Because, I won't return your
EmDGEmCDEm
kiss, and sometimes ignorance is bliss. Well, I can't handle this.
EmACDEm
It's alright for you, it doesn't make you an asshole. It's alright for
ACDEmDEmD
me, my life circles around it though. And I shouldn't close your eyes, and
GEmCDEmD
kiss each one a thousand times if my heart lies.
GDEm
CHORUS I was standing minding my own business when you came up and
CGD
decided you'd mind it for me. With a short list of long demands and a five-
EmC
gallon pail of sinking sand that you assured me I could take or leave. But,
GD
it never seems to work that way, it seems there's always so much more to
EmC
say, and it's always somewhere in between.

I would like to see you smile.

My heart is dressed in black, and her heart is dressed in green.
ACDEmD
'Cause you're beautiful in blue and every other color in between. But,
EmDGEmCD
rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for sad regretful eyes, and long
EmDEmD
goodbyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for
GEmCDEmCDEm
sad regretful eyes, and long goodbyes. Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
CDEm
Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
