[Intro]
C  A7  Dm  G6

[Verse 1]
     C
They say I'm like a mime
       A7                Dm
in the way that matters
               G6
A bit dead inside
    C
No, I don't want a, I don't
       A7                  Dm
want a deep, long chatter
                          G6
I'm tryna have a good time
  C                  Em
I know that you have problems
     Dm                    G6
Honey, I have problems, too
  C                      A7
I swear and I drink Diet Coke
by the barrel
   Dm                G6
But my big one is you
     Dm
What has two thumbs and is not
            C                 Cmaj7
going to be good anytime soon?
      Dm
Those wedding bells you hear are hard
        C                        Cmaj7
to make out from my billiard room
          Dm
You know, our do-si-do
   G7         G6
is hitting so-so

[Chorus]
      C                          E7
And I can't keep letting you down
                  Am    G6
So you gotta give up on me
      C                      E7
And I can't keep roping you 'round
                     Am         G6
To taking part in my faults and needs
           C             E7
Well, it's over, getting older
          Am      Fm
doesn't feel like Glee
            C
'Cause I'll just keep running
     E7                Am  G6
aground, so give up on me


[Verse 2]
       C
I suppose I was bored,
   A7                    Dm
so bored when I met you
                        G6
And that suited you fine
      C
Baby, I'm the Mae West
   A7                 Dm
of wanting attention
                         G7
I'll take it any old time
     C                Em
Everybody's on the dance floor
       Dm               G6
And I'm on the mezzanine
    C
Alone, making notes 'bout
    A7                     Dm
the sense of your patterns
                      G6
That don't work for me
    Dm               G7        G6
Oh, like Lucy Liu, a gun in my shoe

[Bridge]
     Dm
What has two thumbs and
                        C
would not read your book
                     Cmaj7
If you begged her to?
(I wouldn't read it
if you begged me to)
    Dm
No, all-in-all, no,
                       C
maybe I just never liked you
   Cmaj7
(I don't like you, no)
    Dm
But framing this as
                           C
"save yourself" gets me off
And I look like a saint
Cmaj7
 (It gets me off,
then I look like a saint)
    Dm                G
Oh, CMAT of the Groundhog Day

[Chorus]

And I can't keep roping you 'round
                     Am         G6
To taking part in my faults and needs
           C             E7
Well, it's over, getting older
          Am      Fm
doesn't feel like Glee
            C
'Cause I'll just keep running
     Em                Dm  G
aground, so give up on me


[Outro]
         C
'Cause I can't keep letting you
    E7              Dm     G
down, so give up on me (On me)
         C
'Cause I can't keep roping you
      E7              Dm     G
'round, so give up on me (On me)
         C
'Cause I can't keep letting
        E7              Dm     G
you down, so give up on me
