Lagwagon - Whipping Boy (Acoustic) chords
Start Jamming...
Now [G] it's simple to me
Sometimes you have [D] to let go
When [G] there's next to nothing
You say yes [D] every [Bm] time she says no
[C] There's more pain than [D] love
It comes to shove [G] almost
Every time you speak somehow you fight
[D]
[Em] Something's just crazy
[Bm]
And somehow [G] it's taken [D] all the life left [G] in you
[D] [C] She's had [G] time to heal
And [Em] she doesn't need [D] you any longer
And [G] you've had time to drink
Call her to tell [D] her you've [Bm] gotten [G] stronger
At three in the [D] morning
She says stop [G] calling cause [Em] everyone's asleep
Some [C] of us work, [D]
you're driving [Em] me crazy
[Bm]
Well I've learned [G] to get on with [D] my life
[C] Now [D] every night, it's [Em] Friday night
[D] Picking fights with your [C] friends
Somehow [D]
trying to [A] make [Bm] amends
[A] [G] So you search for comfort [A] in [Em] a friend
[D] It's not the same, she won't [C] understand
You've owned a thing, [D] I like what was so wrong
[C] Wish you'd turn the night up [D] and drink
And [G] while you're looking, thinking
[C] It's taken [D] all the life left [G] in you
[D] You're
[G] losing [A]
[Bm] ground, carrying the [Em]
torch
You aren't asking [G] for much
[D] Still somehow, [G] you'll wait [Bm] for her
Say she'll return, [Em] but you [G] still [D] carry that [C] torch
[D] That girl, [G] whipping more
[A] [Bm] [G]
[Em] [G]
[C]
