This is off the New Wave B-sides. It's an awesome song.

Bm Em Am D D5
Your talent outshines all that I could ever do or say
Bm Em Am D D5
and me and my jealousy, I stole your songs and passed them off as my own
Bm Em Am D D5
As much as I would like for it not to show
Bm Em Am D D5
you can smell the stink on my breath and in my clothes, it's so obvious
G A Bm
oh if I could only be half the things you write about in your songs
G A Bm
if I could only mean half as much to anyone
Bm Em Am D D5
and in my arrogance I write pages of anger hate and spite
Bm Em Am D D5
all of the reasons I have to trust... absolutely no one
Bm Em Am D D5
today I heard you on my stereo and it shamed me,
Bm Em Am D D5
yes it shamed me to think that I could be so unoriginal
G A Bm
oh if I could only be half the genius that you are
G A Bm
to feel such honest want, to show love
Bm-C#-D-Bm-Em-A
I would show you love
Under Solo

oh if I could only feel half as resolute in my beliefs,
G A Bm
if I could only sing with such bravery
G A Bm Bm-A-G-F#
I can not explain how much you mean to me
G A Bm
without your words, I would be lost.
