F       Bb
So many people choose
F           Bb
to give themselves up to
F        Bb               G
defeat before the game's over
F              Bb
you're looking detached
F          Bb
you have a feeling that
Dm                                 C
standing in the bathroom will show her

[Chorus]

Bb          G
I know that you are headstrong
F           Am
I know that you don't want me now
Bb          G
besides you wouldn't last long
F               Am             Bb     Am
you know I'll wait because how
Bb         C          F
because how I like you

[Verse]

F            Bb
she's coming over, I'd say,
F            Bb
from looking at you that way
F              Bb              G
you're blending right into the wall
F          Bb
if someone tried to hurt you
F         Bb
I never would desert you
Dm                                C
all the way I'd shake my head and call

[Chorus]

Bb          G
I know that you are headstrong
F           Am
I know that you don't want me now
Bb          G
besides you wouldn't last long
F               Am             Bb     Am
you know I'll wait because how
F         G          C
because how I like you

[Instrumental]

F  Dm  G  C x2

[Bridge]

C                F                                Dm 
I won't have you believe it's something that isn't 
                          G
real I know how it makes you feel
C                  F                             Dm  
you always seem so relieved you think it's so natural
                   G    F
 when in fact it's so peculiar
Bb      C
so peculiar

[Interlude]

ooooooooohhh

(if you wanna have the same flare as this rocky part in
 this song,
 when playing the Bb slide from 002220
 abruptly in the middle of using that chord)

[Chorus]

Bb          G
I know that you are headstrong
F           Am
I know that you don't want me now
Bb          G
besides you wouldn't last long
F               Am             Bb     Am
you know I'll wait because how
Bb         C
because how I like you
Bb          G
I know that you are headstrong
F           Am
I know that you don't want me now
Bb          G
besides you wouldn't last long
F               Am             Bb     Am
you know I'll wait because how

Bb         C          F
because how I like you
