to build off of. enjoy...

bridge: "leave me alone..."
just play around with these two chords
E-----|--6--|
B--6--|--7--|
G--6--|--6--|
D--6--|--8--|
A--4--|--6--|
E-----|-----|
im not really sure what chord he ends the bridge on but it sounds like a D#m7 or
you try to figure it out
that's pretty much it. just repetition of the first part with variations of how it's
by jus adding taps and strumming. just listen to the song and try to get it as close to it
possible. hope this helped those who wanted to learn the song...
comments? corrections? feel free to drop a verse.

| I've always interpreted this song slightly different to the comments above, im probably wrong. I've always thought of the first verse as him saying how his girls left and how he still hasn't got over it, and now all he wants is just to be over her. And then the chorus about the love song is reminding him of her, how all love songs do make us feel sad when we have had a break up. But then its the line of the chrous that gives the true meaning of the song i think. the line "Said im so sick of love songs so sad and slow So why cant i turn off the radio?" Because I've thought the song as his girl, and hes so sick of still loving her and wanting her back and how he just wants to be over her. And then the why can't i turn off the radio as meaning that deep down he knows he doesn;t want to be over her at all, hes not sick of the love song, because the love song is a metaphor for his girl. Hes been pretending he doesnt need her and can get over her but deep down he knows he loves her and wants her back. | |

| "Why cant i turn off the radio?" This line explains the whole song, and why he is writing a love song about disliking love songs. He says he's sick of love songs, but underneath, of course he isn't. He's still lying to himself that he doesn't love her anymore. | |

| I don't even think you need to explain what this song means. Basically he's upset that he lost his girl, and now he wants to try and forget, but everything just reminds him of her. He's well... So sick of love songs, because they don't help him feel better, but he listens to them to remeber the times he had with her. That's what I think anyways. I mean really other than that it's a good song. | |

| Yes it is, lyrically speaking, MCR makes more sense than Ne-yo, their songs have alot of meaning and as ButNeverOutgunned mentioned, they have helped people through rough times with their songs, but if you were depressed or in a bad mood and you listened to Ne-yo, youd kill yourself. Like you said Y | |

| Aww poor you, now nobody needs to hear about your problems dear, you need a therapist. And I dont like this song at all to be honest. First time I heard I turned my MP3 to the loudest volume while having 'drowning lessons' by MCR for you idiots who dont know its My Chemical Romance. | |

| I understood it the same as little miss failure, with the "love songs" being a metaphor for his ex, and him wanting to move on because the pain hurts, but wanting her back at the same time. | |

| Randomhugs, do you need a hug? For someone who hates ne-yo so much, you sure like trolling this comment page. P.S. MCR is just as fabricated as this guy. It's all pop music. | |

| *smiles* I'm not a professional hater actually, I wasnt aware that hating a cunt for singing the same bullshit about love songs was a professional job... You know smartios, you're not even funny... "Ne-Yo has a kid? .. hehe.. " maybe you should've started your comment some other way | |

| Ne-Yo has a kid? .. hehe.. "motha dun wan him no mo" [line from one of that Eminem guy's songs] you can tell Randomhugs is a professional hater, comes back to the thing that pisses them off, they piss 24/7, oh no.. yeah.. and props to him for naming himself by his favourite character in the Matrix, Neo. except he wanted to be gangster and make it YO. | |
