Standard (EADGBE)
If you're ever anywhere 'round here
just come back I'll give you everything you need this time
I promise
not so much the way you hurt me
it's more like the way you make me want to hurt myself
When you show up it's like a landmine
close enough to leave indelible scars
adhered to one
such impressionable person
don't say names
protect the innocent
he sure needs a break
what if everyone's gotta get back
just in time, smoke that last cigarette
you're still lingering round the set
tryin to set me off
(verse chords)
Maybe we can take some time and work this out
I really think the duties here are the same
make it bearable, to be careful
with eachother's emotions
the only way to find out what you're doing
is for you to envy me
then we can both stay int'rested
(chorus)
oh Charlena
maybe you should write this down
so we can get it right next time around
No, Charlena
It's not as simple as it sounds
to keep your feet planted on common ground
(verse chords)
If anyone knows you I do
and if anyone can forgive you well I'd try to
but you keep on doing that thing to me
it's like you're dragging me down into your disease
and can't you see that it's bringing me to my knees
what if we could get it all back
the same way it was before you attacked
all evidence of decency in me
and left me in the debris
(chorus chords)
So, Charlena
maybe you could sort this out
and tell me how you feel about it now
oh Charlena
maybe you should just sit down
I'm not sure that it's worth this anyhow.
