We are standing 
          Em 
On the threshold 
             G 
Of a decent conversation 
                    Bm 
When i can hear the door 
Slam 
                 A 
I know the face you’re 
Making 
                      Em 
And i really want to talk 
To you 
                   G 
I really really wanted to 
But once you get your 
      Bm 
Mind made up 
There is no getting 
A 
Through to you 
                      Em 
For a while it was touching 
                      G 
For a while it was challenging 
                  Bm 
Before it became typical 
And now it really 
        A 
Isn’t interesting 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
                  Em 
I’m lying on the sofa 
                  G 
And the radio is blaring 
And i’m scanning 
                Bm 
Through the stations 
As the boys declare 
          Am 
Their feelings 
But it doesn’t 
            Em 
Feel like feelings 
It feels like 
             G 
They’re pretending 
It’s like they 
              Bm 
Just want blowjobs 
And they know these 
            A 
Songs will get them 
                       Em 
And i really want to talk 
To you 
                  G 
I really really wanted to 
                       Bm 
But i have learned my lesson now 
And you’re not the one 
     A 
I’m turning to 
And for a while it was 
Em 
Touching 
                     G 
For a while it was challenging 
                 Bm 
Before it got habitual 
And now it really 
            A 
Isn’t interesting 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
Em         G                   Bm A 
I was the first to warn you 
Em         G                   Bm A 
I lay myself before you 
Em         G                   Bm A 
I was the first to warn you 
Em     G                 Bm A 
I put myself before you 
 Em 
We are standing on the 
Corner 
And you’re throwing 
            G 
Down the gauntlet 
                   F#m 
It is not a life decision 
We just need 
             A 
To pick a restaurant 
                        Em 
After all this i should know 
You 
Well enough not to get 
G 
Into it 
I should learn but I’m an 
F#m 
Idiot 
     A 
You only want an argument 
Em 
And for a while it was 
Touching 
                     G 
It was almost even comforting 
                 Bm 
Before it became typical 
And now it really 
             A 
Is not interesting 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man cry 
          Em         G Bm A 
To see a grown man 
Throw a temper fit 
To see a grown man 
 G 
Cross his arms 
And sit as if the 
            Bm 
Whole wide world would end 
                A 
If he was not a part of it 
But at the same time 
          Em 
With no confidence 
Never realizing 
     G 
The consequence he’s having 
            Bm 
On the ones he loves 
Because he thinks 
               A 
He makes no difference 
We are standing 
          Em 
On the threshold 
             G 
Of a decent conversation 
                    Bm 
When i can hear the door 
Slam 
                 A 
I know the face you’re 
Making 
                      Em 
And i really want to talk 
To you 
                   G 
I really really wanted to 
But once you get your 
      Bm 
Mind made up 
There is no getting 
A 
Through to you
