I wanna ask you...




VERSE1:
Chords:
G   3x0003    Em  022000
Bm  x24432    D   xx0232
 

| G      Bm                       | G               Bm
  Do you ever sit and wonder, it's  so strange that we could be together for

| Em           Bm                    | Em       | D
  So long, and never know, never care  What goes  on in the other one's 

| G                | Bm
  head? Things I've  felt but I've never said

| G       | Bm
  You said  things that I never said

| Em          Bm                               | Em     D
  So I'll say something that I should have said  long a-go:




CHORUS1:
Chords:
Am  x02210
Bm  x24432
G   3x0003
 

| Am                | Bm                 | Am 
 (You don't know me)                      (You don't know me)
                      You don't know me at all

                                          
| Bm                  | G  | Bm      | G | Bm
  You don't know me at  all (at all)




VERSE2:
Chords:
G   3x0003    Em  022000
Bm  x24432    D   xx0232
Am  x02210


                   | G                   | Bm
You could have just  propped me up on the  table like a mannequin

| G      Bm                    | Em
    Or a cardboard stand-up and  paint me (paint me)

   | Bm                     | D
Any  face that you wanted me  to be seen.

 
     | Am
We're  damned by the existential moment where

| Em                               | Bm
  We saw the couple in the coma and  it was we were the cliché,

| D
    But we carried on anyway.

| Em                                   | %
  So, sure, I could just close my eyes.  Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,

| D             | %
  But can you go  back once you know



[repeat CHORUS1]

 

BRIDGE:
Chords:
C   x32010    Am  x02210
Bm  x24432    D   xx0232
Em  022000


| C                         | Bm      Em
  If I'm the person that you  think I am

| C                         | Bm      Em
  clueless chump you seem to  think I am, so

      | C                             | Bm
Easily  led astray, an errant dog who occasionally escapes and 

Em
needs a shorter leash then

| C                       | Bm      D                    | G*
    Why the f*ck would you  want me back?  Maybe it's be - cause...

    What (What?)    I'm trying to tell you

    | Em                 Bm
It's  not gonna come out like I wanna say it
