Standard (EADGBE)

 i heard the sound of your bike,

 as your wheels hit the gravel,

 then your engine in the driveway cutting off

 and i pushed through the screen door

 and i stood out on the porch

 thinking fight, fight, fight at all costs,

 but instead i let you in,

 just like i've always done

 and i sat you down and offered you a beer

 and across the kitchen table

 i fired several rounds,

 but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared.

 and you came crawling back to say

 that you wanna make good in the end

and oh, oh, let me count the ways

 that i abhor you,

 and you were never a good lay

and you were never a good friend

but, oh, oh, what else can i say...

i adore you

 all i need is my leather,

 one t-shirt and two socks,

 i'll keep my hands warm in your pockets

 and you can use the engine block,

 and we'll ride out to california

 with my arms around your chest,

 and i'll pretend that this is real

 'cuz this is what i like best,

 and you've been juggling two women

 like a stupid circus clown

 telling us both we are the one

 and maybe you can keep me from ever being happy,

 but you're not gonna stop me from having fun.

 so let's go before i change my mind

 i'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind

 'cuz i am bigger than everything

 that came before

 and you were never very kind,

 and you let me way down every time

but oh, oh, oh what can i say...

i adore you

 i heard the sound of your bike,

 as your wheels hit the gravel,

 then your engine in the driveway cutting off
