Standard (EADGBE)
Maybe if I told you lies, then you wouldn't break my heart
Oh yes, you know I've found your reason
Maybe if I criticized and tore myself apart
I'd give you something to believe in
And my intention's never good enough for you
Frustration is your gift to me
Maybe if I synchronized my mind along with yours
You'd find me better to be around
Maybe if I shined your shoes and polished all your floors
I'd know you'd never leave the ground
And your reaction never fails to let me down
Frustration is your gift to me (but)
(Chorus)
I'm searching for a way to make my frustration my power
I'm searching for a way to make it up your iv'ry tower
And I know, you won't receive me
And I know, you won't believe me
And I know, that you don't need me
But in time, I won't need you to
Maybe if I said the things I know you'd like to hear
You wouldn't be so quick to leave
Maybe if I didn't try so hard to keep you near
You'd have no reason to deceive
And your conviction's not enough to weigh you down
Your power now, is much too strong (but)
(Chorus)2X
