[Verse 1]

                    C                           G
You are the biggest tease I know, but you can't have me.
       D                                       F                          G
You're wrapped so tight around my finger - You cut off circulation like a boa constrictor.
    C                       G
I'm not like them - I don't play these games.
D                                        F                            G
I'm the one who's running this show. Innuendo, no crescendo, when you speak in my ear I know...

(I know) what you're trying to do, but you're confused.
           G
And if you keep this up, you're gonna lose.

But in the end we're only friends because it never worked out like we wanted.
                A                F                G
So let's follow our dreams right off a cliff to a firey wreck.
           C                                                     G
And you'll never have it better than you'd have it if you had it with me.
                    A           F                 G
It's too bad you're crazy. It's just my luck. You had your chance - goodbye.

[Verse 2]

         C                          G       A
Put that drink down, because you're driving me insane with your ambition.
F                             G
Everytime we talk you have me thinking and wishing
C                        G
I'm that guy. But I know better than that.
    A                                          F                                 G
Cuz you know you'll be right back with him, So I stay in control throughout this marathon mission.
