Backburner Chords by NIKI

Intro | G | D | Am | C |


        G                              D
I can't lie, it feels nice that you're calling
          Am                        C
You sound sad and alone, and you're stalling
        G                                 D
And for once, I don't care about what you want
                   Am                        C
As long as we keep talking (As long as we're talking)


                  G                           D
I mean, you gotta admit the history's kind of unmatched
           Am                      C
Asian Calvinism, we made it out of that
                    G
Well, whether we're free of will or predestined
         D                               Am
Clearly, I've not learned my lesson even now
                          C
Hope he doesn't strike me down (Strike me down)


    C                 D
The Goo Goo Dolls are dead to me
    G       D          C
The way you should be, too
        C
But you bring them up
          D
Along with how much I fucking miss you


G                    D                           Am
  Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
                    C                   G
Maybe life's less romantic when I don't wanna die
                     D
You'd think I'd be a fast learner
            Am                       C              
But guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner


G
 Backburner
D
 Your backburner
Am
 Your backburner
C
 Your backburner


        G                             
 It's pathetic, but at least you are, too
D                    
 I don't know what to do
Am                          C
 I don't like anyone except sometimes you
                G
 And now you're sounding like a hurt puppy
          D
 You look ugly when you cry
             Am
 But I'm the one you think to call
                 C                              G
 How do you feel lucky and appalled at the same time?
                      D
 After everything you put me through
                   Am              G
 I somehow still believe in you, oh-oh


    C           D
But I know in a week or so
       G     D    C
You'll fade away again
           C
And I wish that I cared
              D
Hey, are you still there? Good


G                    D                            
  Maybe I'm just not better than this, I haven't tried
Am                          C                              
'Cause maybe you'll finally choose me after you've had more time
G                  D
 I thought I was a fast learner
             Am                       C               
 But guess I won't ever mind, guess I won't ever mind


G                 D                        
 Maybe I blame my mother bleeding into my stride
Am               C                        
 Maybe it was my father and his wandering eyes
G                                          D
 (It's their fault that) I'll always be in your corner
          Am                        C                   G         D
 'Cause I don't feel alive 'til I'm burnin' on your backburner, oh-oh


          Am                        C                  G         D
Oh, and I know that it's sad that I settle for the backburner, oh-oh
            Am                       C              G         D
Oh, guess I won't ever mind crisping up on your backburner, oh-oh
                         Am                 C        G
Oh, as long as you still think of me, oh, oh-oh (backburner)
