[Verse]
C D G
I hate your bad tattoos and your second-hand stories;
C D G
those anecdotes that grew old last month.
C D G
I hate the way you move when you’re drunk and try dancing.
C D G
It’s not sexy. It’s just keeping us up
C F
and I’m just not fond of anyone,
(D#) C F G
but that’s got everything to do with us.
C D G
I hate the way I get when I can’t handle bad news.
C D G
It feels like I’ve been an asshole for months.
C D G
All I’ve got left are these handfuls of fuck you.
C D G
Man, that’s never enough.
[Chorus]
C
I guess I’m just down.
G
I guess I’ll be honest.
D
I could use you around.
G C
I can’t stand the dork that you’re hanging with now.
G
I guess I’ll be honest.
Am F
I could use you around.
[Verse]
C G Am
I hate the way that you can’t keep your hair straight.
Em D
I hate the way that you’re leaning on me.
C G Am
I hate the way that you point out when girls are staring
Em D
because you know that I won’t do a thing.
C D
I hate the context clues you leave out of your writing
G
because I can’t find myself here at all.
C D
You know that I hate when you call me wasted.
G
I expect it whenever you call.
[Chorus]
C
I guess I’m just down.
G
I guess I’ll be honest.
D
I could use you around.
G C
I can’t stand the dork that you’re hanging with now.
G
I guess I’ll be honest.
Am F
I could use you around.
C G
I could use you around.
Am F C
I could use you around now.

C F
My friends all say he’s just a b-rate version of me;
C
he’s stuck on video games and weed.
F
They’re just trying to help me get to sleep.
C F
My friends all say you’re sitting way too close to me,
C
that I should just get up and leave.
F
It’s like I’m weighed down to the seat.
C F
My friends all say he’s just the broke-dick version of me.
C
They’re just trying to help me get some sleep.
F
I know he’s what you need.
