Intro: F#, D, A (x2)
CHORUS:
A G# Eii
we would drag ourselves to bed
F# E D
and sleep took everything i had i kept it up till he would call
A G# Eii
you made me feel like a criminal
F# E D
then there's you you kept a smile though i would always walk the wire
Verse:
A
you gave it all i gave you reason to have
F# Eii
doubt i had to get out of there i took the stairs and
A C# D
i dont want to fight with you if i cant be the one to have you
F# Eii
you sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen
A C# D
i memorized lines your eyes made with every squint you shot my way
D (let ring)
repeat CHORUS
A (let ring)
but you're miserable and i'm useless
always making up excuses i made you cry too many times
so i'm hangin up that line
A E D
i'm throwing rocks at your floor i'm knockin down your front door
A E
i'm desperate tonight and i just want to fight
D
its my confusion that lets me act so
A E D A
cold so now i'll go go go and you want to be just left alone
E D A
put down that phone but if you want me just call out hey boy

| Pretty sure its more along the lines of what caprican said, not vulgar. "kept it up til he would call", hes basically there at her dispense cus he likes her and its not exactly as mutual and she's probably involved with someone else | |

| It kinda seems like he's sleeping with a girl who is cheating on her boyfriend/husband. lyrics like: "I don't want to fight with you if i can't be the one to have you" and it seems like he has to leave the place fast, maybe he was just about to get caught: "i had to get out of there, i took the stairs" just a thought. | |

| listening to this song now, I realize just how hard Taking Back Sunday and many other bands in the Long Island scene (Saves The Day etc.) have tried to emulate Lifetime. if you've ever heard anything by TBS, you'll know their efforts pretty much failed. anyways, good song; i think it's just about being on and off with someone a lot, and ending up loving them so much that if they ever needed you, all they'd have to say would be "hey boy." and you'd be there. p.s. does anyone know what the intro at the beginning is? | |
