TOM GABEL/AGAINST ME!
New Wave
Am, Dm, G,
Am Dm G Am
Your talent outshines all that I could ever do or say
Dm G
and me and my jealousy, I stole your songs and passed them off as my own
Am Dm G Am
As much as I would like for it not to show
Dm G
you can smell the stink on my breath and in my clothes, it's so obvious
F C Am
oh if I could only be half the things you write about in your songs
F C Am
if I could only mean half as much to anyone
Dm G Am
and in my arrogance I write pages of anger hate and spite
Dm G
all of the reasons I have to trust... absolutely no one
Am Dm G Am
today I heard you on my stereo and it shamed me,
Dm G
yes it shamed me to think that I could be so unoriginal
F C Am
oh if I could only be half the genius that you are
F C Am E C Dm
to feel such honest want, to show looooooooooooooooooove
G
I would show you love
Am E C Dm
I would show you looooooooooooooooooove
G
I would show you love
F C Am
oh if I could only feel half as resolute in my beliefs,
F C Am
if I could only sing with such bravery
F C Am C E
I can not explain how much you mean to me
F C Am
without your words, I would be lost...
