Whipping Boy Chords by Lagwagon

[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Now [C#] it's [D] simple to [B] be.
Sometimes you [A] have to let go [G] when there's [A] next [D] to nothing.
[B] You say yes [F#m] every time she says [G] no, or made a lot.
[A] She trumps [D] each of our mom's every time [E] you speak.
Somehow [G] you fight, [A] or [E] something just crazy.
[B] And somehow [G] it's taking [A] all the life left [D] in you.
[F#] _
[G] _ [A] _ [D] _ You're losing [F#] ground, carrying that [B] torch.
You're not asking for [G] much.
As [A] she [G] has [D] had time to heal, [B] and she doesn't need you [A] any longer.
And [A] you have time [D] to [B] drink.
And you told her [A] to tell her you'd gotten [G] much stronger at three in [A] the morning.
She says [D] I'm falling asleep. [E] Everyone's asleep.
[G] Some of us work.
[A] You're [E] driving me crazy.
[B]
I've [G] learned to get on [Am] with my [D] life.
Now [C] every nice Friday [B] night, [A] you keep fights with your [G] friends.
[E] Somehow trying to [F#] make amends.
[E] _ _ [D] So you [A] said, well, you're not good [Bm] enough, and she's not [A] the same.
She won't [G] understand.
You both learned to [A] think alike.
But what was so wrong?
[G] Where is she tonight?
[A] Out there drinking [E] while you're [B] left in pain.
And [G] it's taking [A] all the life left in [D] you.
[G] _ [A] _ [D] _ [F#m] _ [G] _
[A] _ [D] _ You're losing [F#] ground, carrying that [B] torch.
You're not asking for [G] much.
Still [A] somehow [D] _ you'll wait for [F#] her. _
She'll [B] return.
But you [A] still carry that [G] torch, that girl [A] we've [D] been for.
