Intro Chords:
Eb Ab G F (repeat 4 times)
[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Last Friday night I wasn't me
Cm Ab
I was a still life trapped in eternity
Eb Ab Bb
I was the focal point; out of focus, out of ink
Eb Ab Cm Ab
And I've been wandering nightly through the garden of your heartache
Eb Ab Bb
Always making a mess, always stumbling out the door
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ab (strum once, let ring)
But I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
[Chorus 1]
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh Baby, maybe I'll be good to you
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh Baby, maybe I'll be good to you
Eb Ab G F Eb Ab G F
Baby, maybe I'll be good to youuuu
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab
Another night, I devour the sun
Cm Ab
Plunge myself into the depths of oblivion
Eb Ab Bb
Yeah somewhere along the way I found wine feels damn good just to bleed sometimes
Eb Ab (staccato) Cm Ab
All I ever wanted was to make things right Years of idleness and spite
Eb Ab Bb
I push my emotions off a bridge, I've been taking them hostage with a shotgun
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ab (let ring)
Now I'm somewhere treading water,
Ab Ab (PM'd)
Somewhere lost inside the man that I'm not
silence (rest)
But I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
[Chorus 2]
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh Baby, maybe I'll be good to you
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Eb Bb Cm Ab
Whoooaa---oohhhh---ohhh Baby, maybe I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, I'll be good, I'll be
Ab G F Eb
good, I'll be gooooodddd
[Outro]
Eb Ab G F (intro pattern)
I won't lie no more about where I've been and
Eb Ab G F
I won't pry no more over the people that you're hanging with
Cm Eb Ab Bb
You're the only lover that I ever missed and have been hopelessly in love with
Eb Ab G F
Look at this tangle of thorns I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Eb Ab G F
Yeah, I don't wanna be an asshole anymore
Eb Ab G F
Oh no, no, no
Ab G F Eb
