Backburner

[Intro] G  D  Am  C

[Primera Parte]

        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-Estribillo]

    G D C
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
    G D C
The way you should be, too
        C
But you bring them up
         D
Along with how much I fucking miss 
you

[Estribillo]

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

[Pós-Refrão]

G
  Backburner
     D
Your backburner
     Am
Your backburner
     C
Your backburner

[Segunda Parte]

            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 G
I somehow still believe in you, 
oh-oh

[Pré-Refrão 2]

      C D
But I know in a week or so
       G D C
You'll fade away again
             C
And I wish that I cared
             D
Hey, are you still there? Good

[Estribillo 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

[Final]

              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)
