Secondary

                        G
And it comes down to you. Never and ever.
            D
Wrecked his day with looks and flirts
    A                G
and midnight in your shortest skirts.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                               G
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed.
                D             A
Thank her for reminding me of all the things
     G               D
I've done completely wrong.

[Chorus]
     A                 D           G             D
Stop these looks and letters. This isn't for the better.
    A                 G
You put me down. It's for the worse, you're not my girl.

[Verse 2]
               G                    D
Stop the circulation to my legs and break my bones.
    A                         G
Dateless and late, I'm better by mysef at home.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
D                                 G
Past the point of trying, and I'm dying here.
               D               A
Secondary. She laughs at every word I know came
G              D
out completely wrong.

[Chorus]
     A                 D           G             D
Stop these looks and letters. This isn't for the better.
    A                 G                                 D
You put me down. It's for the worse, you're not my girl.
     A                 D           G             D
Stop these looks and letters. This isn't for the better.
    A                 G
You put me down. It's for the worse, you're not my girl.

  It's my last semester.  And brothers always come first.
               G                           D
It's my last semester. At least until next winter.
                          A    G
But I'm sure that I'll be over this by then.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                               G
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed.
                D             A
Thank her for reminding me of all the things
     G               D

Stop these looks and letters. This isn't for the better.
    A                 G
You put me down. it's for the worse, you're not my girl.
                A                 D           G             D
Better scenes I wish she'd seen me.  Better off if I just let it be.
           Stop these looks and letters. This isn't for the better.
              A                 G
Better pretend it don't matter. I'd be better off if I could have her.
          You put me down. it's for the worse, you're not my girl.
D                     A                 D              G             D
Better days since the day I met her. I better hope she got my letters.
                 Stop these looks and letters.    This isn't for the better.
              A        G
Better off in two year stretches.
       You're not  my  girl.
