[Verse]
Em C
I took you to a five star dinner
G D
I bought you the most expensive wine
Em C
I even paid off the maitre d'
G D
To usher us up to the front of the line
Em C
You told me you needed a stronger, slimmer man
G D
So I went and joined the neighborhood gym
Em C
Though the weights put my spine out of commission
G D C D
Even you can't deny that I am looking real slim
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You say you're taking your time
C D
Maybe you don't even care
Em C G
Sometimes I wish I was much more easy to scare easy to scare
[Chorus]
G D
Why? God even knows how I try
C
I can't fascinate you there
G D
Something that I've realized
C
Nothing will ever do for you
Em C
But I will solve this mystery
G D
But you've gotta give me the first clue
[Verse]
Em C
You said you always wanted a humble man
G D
So I sold my car and bought a beat up van
Em C
I guess that wasn't quite enough for you
G D
So now I only speak up when I don't know how to follow your plan
[Pre-Chorus]
G
When you treat me unkind
C D
I wanna leave you far behind
Em C G
Then I think of all the things that make you so fine
And I'm back in the role again
[Chorus]
G D
Why? God even knows how I try
C
I can't fascinate you there
G D
Something that I've realized
C
Nothing will ever do for you
Em C
But I will solve this mystery
G D
But you've gotta give me the first clue
I won't stop 'til I find the key
The key to you
[Bridge]
Em C G D
I took the challenge and I must confess
Em C G D
I never met someone so hard to impress
Em C G D
But all you need is someone to love you
Em C G D
Who needs the rest? Who needs the rest?
[Chorus]
G D
Why? God even knows how I try
C
I can't fascinate you there
G D
Something that I've realized
