Next Best Thing

Intro:
Bm D A E (x2)


Verse 1:
Bm
Once upon a time I would have
D
Moved a mountain just to know
     A                     E
That I was on your mind at all
         Bm
They say love can make you blind
           D
You had me wrapped around your pinky
 finger
A                         E
Waiting for your midnight call
      Bm        D
I was never the first pick
        A                          
But you knew I'd wait for you every
 E
 time
    Bm                         D
But now I see that I was never gonna
 be your Mr. Right
     A                 E
Just Mr. Right next in line


Chorus:
                     Bm        D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
                      A      E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
                     Bm      D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
                     A       E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G             A                 
We could be a symphony, but I'm 
Bm     A      E
always second string
   G                       D
So baby if you're lonely tonight
             E                     
F# (stop)
It's time to find yourself another 
next best thing

Verse 2:
    Bm (stop)                       
   D
See I've been getting used to all 
this elevator music
            A                      
That you're playing while I wait on
 E
 hold
           Bm
Yes you're on the other line,
             D
And though I let you take your time
     A                       E
This waiting game is getting old
               Bm        D
Always looking over your shoulder
        A                          
Just in case something better comes
 E
 by
      Bm
Still hoping for the day when I'll 
be
D
More than second place
          A                    E
Is just a waste of my precious time


Chorus:
                     Bm        D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
                      A      E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
                     Bm      D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
                     A       E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G             A                 
We could be a symphony, but I'm 
Bm     A      E
always second string
   G                       D
So baby if you're lonely tonight
             E

Bridge:
Em            D
   I could be all you need
        F#                         
But you treat me like I'm nothing 
  Bm
at all
A           Em
So when his love falls through
     D               A     F#
Find another fool to call, oh


Chorus:
                     Bm        D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
                      A      E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
                     Bm      D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
                     A
I don't wanna be the one you get
            E
The one you get

Bm  D                 A      E
No,   I won't be your safety net
                     Bm      D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
                     A       E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G             A                 
We could be a symphony, but I'm
