Introducción: Bm D A E
Bm
Once upon a time I would have
D
Moved a mountain just to know
A E
That I was on your mind at all
Bm
They say love can make you blind
D
You had me wrapped around your pinky finger
A E
Waiting for your midnight call
Bm D
I was never the first pick
A E
But you knew I'd wait for you every time
Bm D
But now I see that I was never gonna be your Mr. Right
A E
Just Mr. Right next in line
Bm D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
A E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
Bm D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
A E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G A Bm A E
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
G D
So baby if you're lonely tonight
E F#(stºp)
It's time to find yourself another next best thing
Bm DA E
Another next best thing
Bm(stºp) D
See I've been getting used to all this elevator music
A E
That you're playing while I wait on hold
Bm
Yes you're on the other line,
D
And though I let you take your time
A E
This waiting game is getting old
Bm D
Always looking over your shoulder
A E
Just in case something better comes by
Bm
Still hoping for the day when I'll be
D
More than second place
A E
Is just a waste of my precious time
Bm D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
A E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
Bm D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
A E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G A Bm A E
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
G D
So baby if you're lonely tonight
E F#(stºp)
It's time to find yourself another next best thing
Em D
I could be all you need
F# Bm
But you treat me like I'm nothing at all
A Em
So when his love falls through
D A F#
Find another fool to call, oh
Bm D
I don't wanna be the next best thing
A E
I ain't gonna be your safety net
Bm D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
A
I don't wanna be the one you get
E
The one you get
Bm D A E
No, I won't be your safety net
Bm D
Baby, if I'm not the one you want
A E
I don't wanna be the one you get
G A Bm A E
We could be a symphony, but I'm always second string
