[Opening]
[F#m] [C#m] [Bm]
When a [F#m]good thing goes bad it’s not the [C#m]end of the world
It’s just the [Bm]end of a world that you had with one girl
And she’s the [F#m]reason it happened, but she’s [C#m]overreacting
And it’s all because she [Bm]don’t want things to change
[chorus]
So cry if [F#m]you need to, but I can’t stay [C#m]to watch you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
Touch if you [F#m]need to, but I can’t stay to [C#m]hold you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
Talk if you [F#m]need to, but I can’t stay to [C#m]hear you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
‘Cause you’ll say you [F#m]love me, and I’ll end up [C#m]lying
[chorus]
And say I love you, [Bm]too, but I need someone [F#m]different, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, you know it
[Bm]Oh ho, you know it, we both know it, I need someone [F#m]different, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, you know it
[Bm]Oh ho, you know it, we both know it, something’s been [F#m]missing, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, she knows it
[Bm]Oh ho, I know it, we all know it, I need someone [F#m]different, [C#m](Oh ho, oh [Bm]ho)
[Closing]
We live in a gene[F#m]ration of, not [C#m]being in love, and [Bm]not being together
But we sure make [F#m]it feel like we’re together[C#m]
Because we’re scared to see each [Bm]other with somebody else
[chorus]
So cry if [F#m]you need to, but I can’t stay [C#m]to watch you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
Touch if you [F#m]need to, but I can’t stay to [C#m]hold you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
Talk if you [F#m]need to, but I can’t stay to [C#m]hear you, that’s the wrong thing to [Bm]do
‘Cause you’ll say you [F#m]love me, and I’ll end up [C#m]lying
[chorus]
And say I love you, [Bm]too, but I need someone [F#m]different, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, you know it
[Bm]Oh ho, you know it, we both know it, I need someone [F#m]different, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, you know it
[Bm]Oh ho, you know it, we both know it, something’s been [F#m]missing, you know it, [C#m]oh ho, she knows it
[Bm]Oh ho, I know it, we all know it, I need someone [F#m]different, [C#m](Oh ho, oh [Bm]ho)
