[1st Verse]
 
   G
My parents raised three only children
            C
We'd had to set little fires for attention
       G
It was only a matter of time
                 C
till it all burned out
 
   G
In high school I read all the classics
        C
And the only real love ended tragic
          G
I'd throw rocks at her window all night
                     C
She'd throw 'em back down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                   G/B        C
I keep trying to get impossible people
G         D
  To love me
Em                            G/B
I know how it ends but I keep writing
    C         G     D
the same old....story
 
        Em
There's good in everyone I guess
  C
I lose myself in search of it
Em                   G/B        C
I keep trying to get impossible people to
G     D
........to love me

[2nd Verse]
 
        G
Well, I learned to ignore all the warnings
     C
'Til eggshells felt like hard wood flooring
             G
And when the power goes out I sit in the dark
         C
....and I wait
 
  G
I guess I still think that's what love is
  C
A card game where everyone's bluffing
             G
I'd lose the shirt off my back, every cent that I have
        C
And you still can't drag me away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                   G/B        C
I keep trying to get impossible people
G         D
  To love me
Em                            G/B
I know how it ends but I keep writing
    C         G     D
the same old....story
 
        Em
There's good in everyone I guess
  C
I lose myself in search of it
Em                   G/B        C

        Em
You can pull the heart out of my chest
    C
I'd still believe in love I guess
Em                   G/B        C
I keep trying to get impossible people to
