[Intro]
D C Bm A x2
 
[Verse]
D           C
how sick of me
         Bm
must you be
    A
by now
              D             C
while you're standing just outside
              Bm        A
of what your pride will allow
        D             C
always reaching into yourself
           Bm           A
to find a new way to understand me
          D                    C
when i'm sure that there's no one else
        Bm
in the world
              A
who could withstand me
 
[Chorus]
     G                  E
the first person in your life
    D          A
to ever really matter
                G
is saying the last thing
      E        D          A
that you want to hear
     G                 E
and you are listening hard
                              D
through the splintering shards
                       A
of your life as it shatters
                     G
and you're standing firm
                    A
and you're staying close
                    D
and you're seeing clear
 
 
D C Bm A x2
 
[Verse]
                 D
i took to the stage
             C
with my outrage
              Bm
in the bad old days
                     A
when you were the make-me-mad guy
            D
but the songs
                   C
they come out more slowly
            Bm        A
now that i am the bad guy
         D                 C
and i say, i'm sorry i'm so crazy
           Bm             A
I am astounded by your patience
        D              C
and you say, believe it or not, baby
            Bm
the joy you bring me
           A
still outweighs it
 
[Chorus]
G                  E
the first person in your life
    D          A
to ever really matter
                G
is saying the last thing
      E             D       A
that you want to hear
     G                 E
and you are listening hard
                              D
through the splintering shards
                       A
of your life as it shatters
                     G
and you're standing firm
                    A
and you're staying close
                    D
and you're seeing clear
 
D C Bm A x2
 
 D         C
how sick of me
         Bm
must you be
    A
by now?
