F Bb F
Eb Bb F
[Verse 1]
F Bb F
Well I hear that there's a party tonight
F Bb F
And I probably won't go, but thanks for the invite
F Bb F
'Cause I'd rather stay home and drink gallons of wine
Eb Bb F
And that must be why nobody stops by
F Bb F
Why I get so angry when I go out
F Bb F
Why you think I think too much and I should just calm down
F Bb F
You can't take me anywhere so you hide me out
F Eb Bb F
And then you ask why I think you never loved me now
[Chorus]
Bb C
Why can't I be more like them?
Bb C
The kind of people who go out of their way to make new friends
Bb C
'Cause I don't give a good goddamn about you, I'm not making amends
Eb Bb F
Oh honey, why can't I be more like them?
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
You don't believe me when I say I want to be alone
F Bb F
You think there's someone here when I don't pick up the phone
F Bb F
And now you can't believe I want to talk, honey, oh no
F Eb Bb F
Well you'll get used to it, it's going to be a hell of a ride though
[Chorus]
Bb C
So why can't I be more like them?
Bb C
The kind of people who feel sad when relationships end
Bb C
Well honey I don't want you now, but it's not about him
Eb Bb F
Oh honey why can't I be more like them?
Eb Bb F
Why can't I be more like them?
Bb C
'Cause they get away with shit that I never will
Bb C
You'd think that I do these things to them just to be cruel
Bb C
'Cause it's always got to be about wanting another man
Eb Bb F
Oh but she just needed some space, why can't I be like that?
Eb Bb F
Oh you just need to get laid, why can't I be like that?
[Verse 3]
F Bb F
'Cause I gave you everything I had
F Bb F
All my cheapest beer and cigarettes
F Bb F
And now you want your money back
Eb Bb F
Well I'm sorry baby but I still don't have it
[Chorus]
Bb C
Why can't I be more like them?
Bb C
The kind of people who can still manage to get upset
Bb
Well if you that think I'm so fucking emotionally dense
C
It's 'cause I am
Eb Bb F
Why can't you be more like that?
Eb Bb F
And why can't I be more like them?
Eb Bb F
