Verse: (D Em, Bm)
I don't have much to say
There's nothing in this name
Sorry to disappoint again
Nobody pines for the listener
A thrill I fail to deliver
Chorus: (G Bm, A, G)
And whilst I watch in silence
You're starting forest fires
You start them just to feel the heat
And whilst I keep my quiet
You're running with the tigers
You're running just to run from me
The people on this train
Already made up their minds about me
I can already feel their hate
The stranger, his sorrow
Must be fault of my own
And whilst I watch in silence
You're starting forest fires
You start them just to feel the heat
And whilst I keep my quiet
You're running with the tigers
You're running just to run from me
G, Bm, A, G
And I don't blame you...
Honestly
And I don't blame you...
Who would wanna be around me?
D Em
Who would wanna be around me?
D Em
Who would wanna be around me? Bm (End on D)
