I don't know how to break the news but its pretty clear you'll be asked to choose between
What you lack and what you excuse in this tug of war
You can't say that they didn't warn you though you'd rather that they just ignore you
'Cause your devices are not working for you anymore

chorus:
         C A7 C         G
What you want you don't know
            Em7    A7 C G
You're with stupid now

C                     G                Em7                     A7
You don't know how to manufacture sturdy bones with a hairline fracture
The crazy will of a Margaret Thatcher that they've all got
And though you pay for the hands they're shaking the speeches and the mistakes they're making
As they struggle with the undertaking of simple thought

[chorus 2x]

What you know you don't want to know

You're with stupid now so on with the show

Intro: D  A  Em7 G 2x
      D                                 Bm7        G        Em Em7
You stay the night at his house with no ride to work
And I'm the one who tells you      He's another  jerk
      Csus2                                 Em7
But you're the one who can succeed
You've only got to prove your need
            D   A            Em  G
And you do          you do
And you do    You really do
      D                           Bm7                G        Em Em7
The sex you're trading up for what you hope is love
Is just another thing that he'll be careless of
      Csus2                                 Em7
But though there are caveats galore
You've only got to love him more

[chorus]
                     F   Em D    Bm7  G  Em Em7
Even when it's all too clear 
            D                           Bm7                G        Em Em7
You write a little note that you leave on the bed
And spend some time dissecting every word he said
     Csus2                                 Em7
And if he seemed a little strange
Well, baby--anyone can change

I could follow you and search the rubble
Or stay right here and save myself some trouble
Or try to keep myself from seeing double

Way Back When/Aimee Mann

D A D A B7 D

A                          Em            
Well, I guess that this is now the end 
 D                         F#m
Who'd have thought my old friend
C#m                          D
We signed the papers and we capped the pen

A                           Em  
But I remember you from way back when
 D                        F#m
'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
C#m                       D
welcome David-what's-his-name-again'

F#m               E
Things change the old cliche
   C#m                       F#m
If we knew now what we knew yesterday
D A             D         A  B7 D
Oh, we couldn't give it away

A                  Em  
I was working at a record store
D               F#m
I knew you, you knew the score
C#m                              D
Some kind of deal is what we're looking for

A              Em 
Time came, and disappeared
D                  F#m
No one steered and it got weirder
C#m                     D
Help was needed, no one volunteered.

F#m                       E
Things change, you got to wait a bit
        C#m                     F#m
What made me think that I could weather it?
D             A             D       A          B7 D
You're down before you even notice you've been hit

       G                                         
And through it all I wondered where the

Bus was taking you who knew?
      G                            D
And even though my one and one was always
       A      E                       Bm
Making two I never thought that I was breaking you

A                            Em 
We were victims of the old taboo
      D           F#m
But people change we changed too
C#m                            D
Just make it count before they get to you.

F#m                 E
Things change baby, hold the phone!
          C#m                       F#m
They'll shoot you down like you was Al Capone
D  A           D       A  B7 D
Oh, you better go it alone

A                          Em            
Well, I guess that this is now the end 
 D                 F#m

Wonder if we'll ever meet again?

Was it getting on your nerves just knowing I'm around
G          Em7                D                            Bm7

But battles get lost, when one extra push is all you need to tip your hand

You better pray, the lies you have going

Can keep from owing much more than you do

'Cause the debt just gets bigger and one day I figure

Someone will be calling it due

The moth don't care when he sees the flame
He might get burned but he's in the game
    D               Am           
And once he's in he can't go back, and
Em7                    A7
Beat his wings 'til he burns them black
       C          G           Am        C Em Am
No the moth don't care when he sees the flame

No the moth don't care when he sees the flame

    Em                     Am       C
The moth don't care if the flame is real
Cuz flame and moth got a sweetheart deal
    D               Am     
And nothing fuels a good flirtation
     Em7                A7

So come on let's go ready or not
Cuz there's a flame I know hotter than hot

      Em                   Am          C
The moth don't care if the flame burns low
Cuz moth believes in an afterglow
    D                Am    
And flames are never doused completely
Em                       A7
All you really need is a love of heat
