You’re barely missing me I’m missing you

And everything you do I really do
Am C
I really do Sure I do

My pens paint people that I’ve proven wrong
(repeat)
Em C
We move on

Em C
Get a job where I tell
G C
All of my accounts of someone else
G E/G#
I’m quick enough to judge that they were wrong
Am C
And that we knew it all along
Em C
Sing a long long-winded song
G Em(hold) D(hold) C
I would be content to hum along Humm
Bridge:
G C
If I state that my fingers know where to show
Em
What everyone should have known
G
I’ll let it go
C
Hopefully you’ll forget
Em
Any words that I put in print

My luck, you’ll change

Have strength enough to walk away
(Repeat Chorus 4 times)

G(hold)
Wrong
