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


[Instrumental]

Bb  F  Bb  F  Bb  F  Bb


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


[Interlude]

F  Bb  C  F  A  Bb  C

(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)

F  Bb  F  Bb  Dm  C


[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
