Intro: F C Am G (x4) (listen to the strum pattern)
F C
I would've meant it if I'd said it
Am G F C Am G
But I didn't think to say it at the time
F C Am
And you never really said it with your mouth
G F C Am G
And only one time with your eyes
F C Am G
And you would get if you'd get it 'cause I know that you're the type
F C Am G
Who gets it when they get it and they always get it right
F C Am G
I hate that type
F C Am G
I hate that type
F C
Now I am sitting in your bed
Am G F C Am G
In your bedroom with my new homework machine
F C Am
And I am playing with your cat with bits of string
G F C Am G
And I am waiting patiently
F C Am G F
And you are out with a woman at exhibits about people like me
C Am G F C Am G (x2)
With a woman at exhibits about people like me
F C Am G
And I don't get it
F C Am G
I don't get it
F C Am G
I don't get it
F C Am G
I don't get it
F C Am G
'Cause you don't like art, you just buy and sell
F C Am G
And you wouldn't give it up if you were getting it well
F C
So I brought this on myself
Am G
I can't say I disagree
F C Am G
Take that woman to exhibits about people like me
F C Am G
Me
F C Am G F C
I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you
Am G
My life without
F C Am G F C Am G
I am at home with my watercolors while you are out
F C Am G
I would've meant it if I'd said it
F C Am G
But I didn't think to say it and I'm shy
F C Am G
So I hid inside my t-shirt
F C Am G
And I looked the other way when you walked by
F C Am G
And I gathered up my things and I dusted off my bike
F C Am G
And I found a quiet place where I could sit and i could write
F C Am G
And I wrote this
F C Am G
And I wrote this
F C
And you would get it if you'd get it
Am G
'Cause I know that you're the type
F C
Who gets it when they get it
Am G F C Am G
And they never have to write it on paper
F C Am G
On paper
F C Am G
But you never got it, never, not to tell you the truth
F C Am G
'Cause you show up to my shows and think I'm singing about you
F C Am G
And I'm not
F C Am G
Oh no I'm not
F C Am G
And I don't get it
F C Am G
I don't get it
F C Am G
I don't get it
F C Am
No, I don't
F C Am G
'Cause you don't like art, you just buy and sell
F C Am G
And you wouldn't give it up if you were getting it well
F C
So I brought this on myself
Am G
I can't say I disagree
F C Am G F C Am G
Bring that woman to my concert and she tells you that she likes me
F C Am G
She likes me
F C Am G F C
Now I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you
Am G
My life without
F C Am G F C Am G
I am at home with my watercolors while you are out
F C Am G
And all my friends and the issues that we face
F C Am G
You wanna stick us in a box, you wanna put us in our place
F C Am G
And maybe hang us on a wall, then leave me out to dry
F C Am G F C Am G
Was I a joke? Was I a freak? Or just too much alive?
F C Am G
Alive
F C Am G F C
I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you
Am G
My life without
F C Am G F C Am G
I am at home with my watercolors blotting it out
