[N] [F#m]
[A]
[C] I don't know what I want to be, but there's a thorn [A] in your side.
[C] Tell me what you gave me, baby, and I will give you [D] back.
The trouble you gave [A] me, I'm [E] going to wrap them up in a box, tie them up with strings,
and send them back to you.
[Em] They don't [E] mean a thing to [D] me.
Better get used to being my used [A] to be.
[C] Baby, I don't know what I want to be, but a pusher for your pride.
Here's my flashback, baby, to this place you got to [D] ride with me.
Before you make me [A] change my mind.
[E] Before you notice that I'm not around.
[Em] You look everywhere, baby, but I just won't be [D] found.
[C] Better get used to being my [A] used to be.
I [D] used to be the hands of your clock, baby, but I always knew a [Am] time.
[A]
[D] I'd no longer be the key to your lock, baby, [A] and you would change your [E] mind.

Baby, I remember a time when you really used to try.
Nowadays, baby, you can't even look me in the eye.
[D]
I was drifting with the [A] tide.

I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree.
[D] Better get used to being my used [A] to be.
