              Intro: D G D G A X2 
 
verse 1: 
D 
You've got me under your thumb, sometimes I feel so dumb  
                                     G   D 
You put a smile on my face, but only sometimes 
D 
You make me weak in the knees, I think it's cute when you sneeze 
                               G   D 
I think you shoes are so cool, sometimes 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
G                                                     A 
You talk too much for me to figure out my motivation, don't you know that you're the only one 
 
 
D                      G                                A 
Sometimes it's not the things you say, sometimes you're just in the way 
            G                 A 
Sometimes I feel like I can't live without you 
D                     G                         A 
Sometimes I swear you make me sick, sometimes I just want to kiss you 
    G          A             D    G A G A 
And tell you I love you, sometimes 
 
verse 2: 
D 
You say you think I'm a square, don't like the clothes that I wear 
                                         G   D 
You know I really don't care, well maybe sometimes 
D 
We made out at the show, I think I should let you know 
                                       G   D 
That you could sure use a breath mint, sometimes 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
G                                                      A 
You talk too much for me to figure out my inspiration, don't you know that you're the only one 
 
 
D                      G                                A 
Sometimes it's not the things you say, sometimes you're just in the way 
            G                 A 
Sometimes I feel like I can't live without you 
D                     G                         A 
Sometimes I swear you make me sick, sometimes I just want to kiss you 
    G          A             D    G A G A 
And tell you I love you, sometimes 
 
BREAK: 
G                                                                       A 
Now I'm not saying that I'm really any better, man I swear she's such a pretty girl, a pretty girl 
G                                                   A 
I know she has her days and looks at me exactly the same way 
Bm         G                   D               E                       
I know sometimes, I bring ther down, but every once in a while I make her smile 
D                      G                                A 
Sometimes it's not the things you say, sometimes you're just in the way

Sometimes I feel like I can't live without you

Sometimes it's not the things you say, sometimes you're just in the way 
            G                 A 
Sometimes I feel like I can't live without you 
D                     G                         A 
Sometimes I swear you make me sick, sometimes I just want to kiss you 
    G                        A                     G                  
And tell you I love you, for you I'd eat tofu, and I don't like tofu  
        A                     D    G A G A  D G A G A  D G A G A  D 
But you make me so happy, sometimes (ad lib vocal)
