What do you give to the boy who has everything?
Fm           E          Am         G
His world is almost too good to be true
C           G             Am          G
What do you say when he's starting to let you in
F           C           Dm          C     G
And you see he's better off without you?

C             G      Am           G
Sometimes I'm so cynical and self-conscious
    Fm          E            Am           G
And sometimes I see that I'm bringing him down
  C            G             Am       G
I stand in the mirror, hands in empty pockets
    F          C       Dm        C       G
And wonder why he even wants me around

F      Am             G            F
I just wish there was something he needs
     Am        G             F
Some beautiful thing I could be
   Am            G          Dm           G
To keep him from seeing the worst in me

C           G           Am           G
What do you do when the boy's always busy
    Fm            E            Am           G
And you're on the side killing time 'til he calls?
     C         G           Am          G
It's bad I get mad cause I want him to miss me
    F           C           Am           C      G
And make amends when he has done nothing wrong

( F  Am  G  F  Am  G )

C           G                Am         G
We both got friends, but I'm no good at keeping mine
Am           E           G           D
He's got his people when he needs to talk
    C           G              Am          G
And we both got dreams but I'm not good at reaching mine
   F          Em           Dm          C      G
So part of me dreams about keeping him small

F      Am             G            F
I just wish there was something he needs
     Am        G             F
Some beautiful thing I could be
   Am            G          Dm           G
To keep him from seeing the worst in me

    C           G           Am          G
So, what do you give to the boy who has everything
Fm           E        Am            G
Now that you need him more than you knew?
Am          G#m         G       D
What do you do when you finally get to him
F           C           Dm          C
And you see he's better off without you?

[Final] F  Em  Dm  C
