Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It's been eighteen months
since I kissed you once,
So [C]just saying "hi" just
isn't going to fly,
But if you [Bm]give me a clue
and a minute or two,
[G]The[C]n I might remember your name.
And I [Am]hate to insist that I
was really that pissed,
But [C]to tell the truth, in my flush of youth,
I [G]would drown my sight until faces
and [Bm]nights seemed [C]the same.
And [Am]a nervous shrug and
an awkward hug
Won't [C]get me out of the
hole that I've dug,
So I [G]slip the noose with a poor excuse
And talk [C]to someone, anyone else.
[Am]And I sit with my friends
and I try to pretend
That I [C]never did that sort of thing again,
But I'm [G]lying to myself.
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]And suddenly it's as clear as
clear could [C]be:[Csus2]
I'm [C]not [Em]quite the perfect man
that I hoped [C]I'd [Csus2]be.
[C]And though I alw[G]ays tried to
live an honest [C]life,[Csus2]
[C]To [Em]tell my truth I've told my share of lies.
[C]

[Verse 3]
I [Am]remember you, of course I do,
But I don't re[C]call how many
times we've been through
This [G]little game,
that always ends the same,
With you [C]sad and me far away.
And [Am]every time I repeat the line
That [C]the fault's not mine
and I wasn't unkind.
But the [G]worst part is that I've got nothing else to say.

[Verse 4]
And all the [B]pretty little [Em]pic tures
of [D]faith and firm devo[C]tion
That I painted as [G]a child,
Well they have [B]fallen by the [Em]wayside,
[D]along with all my [C]puppy- fat,
But my days have taught me [G]this:
That every [B]day I spend pre[Em]tending
that I al[D]ways choose the [C]right path
Is a day that I choose the wrong.
[G]

[Verse 5]
[B]
Oh yes my [Am]wisdom teeth have
been giving me grief –
They woke me [C]up to find that
I'm exactly the kind of
[G]Guy I said that I'd rather be dead than be
[C]In the days before I got laid.
