Niki – Backburner Chord

G D Am C
 

        G                   
I can't lie, it feels nice 
             D
that you're calling
          Am                
You sound sad and alone, and
         C
 you're stalling
         G                  
And for once, I don't care 
               D
about what you want
                    Am      
As long as we keep talking 
                   C
As long as we're talking
                    G       
I mean, you gotta admit the 
                    D
history's kind of unmatched
           Am    
Asian Calvinism, 
                    C
we made it out of that
                     G
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
         D        
Clearly, I've not 
                        Am
learned my lesson even now
Hope he doesn't strike 
    C
me down Strike me down
 

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

G                    D      
  Maybe I'm just not better 
                      Am
than this, I haven't tried
                     C      
Maybe life's less romantic 
                    G
when I don't wanna die
                     D
You'd think I'd be a fast le
arner
             Am             
But guess I won't ever mind 
         C               G
crisping up on your backburner
 

G
Backburner
    D
Your backburner
    Am
Your backburner
    C
Your backburner
 

         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          
How do you feel lucky and 
                   G
appalled at the same time?

                     D
After everything you put me through
                
I somehow still 
   Am              C
believe in you, oh-oh
 

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

G                    D      
  Maybe I'm just not better 
                      Am
than this, I haven't tried
'Cause maybe you'll finally 
  C                              G
choose me after you've had more time
                   D
I thought I was a fast learner

             Am              
But guess I won't ever mind, 
        C               G
guess I won't ever mind
                 D      
Maybe I blame my mother 
                  Am
bleeding into my stride
                 C     
Maybe it was my father 
                  G
and his wandering eyes
It's their fault that I'll 
              D
always be in your corner
          Am         
'Cause I don't feel 
                C     
alive 'til I'm burnin' 
             G         D
on your backburner, oh-oh
 
 

           Am               
Oh, and I know that it's sad
         C                  G         D
 that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh
             Am             
Oh, guess I won't ever mind 
         C               G         D
crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh
                          Am   
Oh, as long as you still think 
              C       G
of me, oh, oh-oh backburner
