Stupid Thing

F             C           Dm    Bb
Nothing was saving our day,

          F          C
There was nothing to say,

        Gm             Bb
but you said something anyway.

F          C              Dm     Bb
Claiming I stepped out of line,

      F             C
which forced you to leave me,
   Gm          Bb
as if that idea was mine.

Chorus
======

Gm             Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,

F                          C
Speaking of course as your dear departed.

Gm             Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,

F                 C
It wasn't me that you outsmarted.

Gm             Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,

            F
stopping it all

          C    Bb
before it even started.

Verse 2
=======

F         C             Dm     Bb
I bet you knew it would come,

F                C           Gm
that's just like you, to sit back

         Bb
and just play it dumb.

F           C             Dm     Bb
One word of warning would help,

    F          C
but that sacrifice was made

Gm           Bb
trying to save yourself.

Verse 3
=======

F            C          Dm    Bb
Maybe that's just how I am,

   F            C
to fall where I stand, or

    Gm            Bb
I'm weak for that kind of man.

F             C            Dm     Bb
One who looks helpless and brave,

               F      C
but you turned into a coward,

       Gm            Bb
I don't care for the parts you saved.
