Will someone please call a surgeon 
        G                   Bm                     A 
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart 
               G                           A     (A7) 
That your're deserting for better company?

I can't accept that it's over... 
       G                     Bm                     A 
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net 
               G                            A    (A7) 
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry
[Chorus]
   D          G                A     F#m 
So,  just say how to make it right 
    D              G                A   F#m 
And,  i swear i'll do my best to comply   
Bm      G      A                       D                 Bm 
Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better 
     Bm     G       A               F#m          Bm 
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

          G                             Bm                A 
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear 
                  G                         A    (A7) 
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave
[Chorus]
   D              G               A    F#m 
So,  please back away and let me go 
D            G                   A        F#m

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better 
     Bm     G       A               F#m          Bm 
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together 
Bm        G        A               D           Bm 
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future 
Bm         G           A                F#m              Bm 
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I'll never wrong you again  
D              G               Bm    A
