Backburner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][C]

[Verse 1]
I can't [G]lie, it feels nice that you're [D]calling
You sound [Am]sad and alone
and you're [C]stalling
And for [G]once, I don't care
about what you [D]want
As long as we keep [Am]talki[C]ng
I mean, you got to ad[G]mit
the history's kind of [D]un matched
Asian Calvin[Am]ism, we made it out of [C]that
Well, whether we're [G]free of will or predestined
Clearly, [D]I've not learned my lesson
even [Am]now
Hope He doesn't strike me [C]down

[Pre-chorus 1]
The [C]Goo Goo Dolls are [D]dead to me
The [G]way you [D]should be [Em]too
[G]But you [C]bring them up
Along [D]with how much I fucking miss you

[Chorus 1]
[G]Maybe I'm just not bet[D]ter than this,
I haven't [Am]tried
Maybe life's less ro[C]mantic
when I don't wanna [G]die
You'd think I'd be a [D]fast learner
But guess I [Am]won't ever mind
crisping [C]up on your back

[Interlude 1]
[G](burner) (Back[D]burner) (backburner)
[Am](bac[C]kburner) (backburner)

[Verse 2]
It's pa[G]thetic, but at least you are [D]too
I don't know what to [Am]do
I don't like anyone except [C]sometimes you
And now you're [G]sounding like a hurt puppy
You look [D]ug ly when you cry
But I'm the [Am]one you think to call
How do you feel [C]lucky
and appalled at the same [G]time?
After everything you [D]put me through
I somehow still be[Am]lieve in you
[C]Oh

[Pre-chorus 2]
But [C]I know in a w[D]eek or so
You'll [G]fade a[D]way a[Em]gain
And [G]I'll wish [C]that I cared
Hey, are you [D]still there? Good

[Chorus 2]
[G]Maybe I'm just not bet[D]ter than this,
I haven't [Am]tried
'Cause maybe you'll finally [C]choose me
after you've had more [G]time
I thought I was a [D]fast learner
But guess I [Am]won't ever mind
Guess I [C]won't ever mind

[Chorus 3]
[G]Maybe I blame my mot[D]her
bleedin' into my [Am]stride
Maybe it was my [C]father
and his wandering [G]eyes
(It's their fault that)
I'll always be in [D]your corner
'Cause I [Am]don't feel alive
'til I'm burn[C]ing on your back

[Outro 1]
[G](burner) [D]Oh (Backburner)
And I [Am]know that it's sad
That I set[C]tled for the back[G]burner
[D]Oh (Backburner)
Guess I [Am]won't ever mind
Crisping [C]up on your back[G]burner
(Backburner) [D]Oh
As long as you still [Am]think of me
[C]Oh (Backburner)
