C             C/B              
I've got some cookies from our 
F/A       C
junk food run
             F         Am/E   
And here's a couple of beers so 
           F           Bb
let's go create some fun
C             C/B        F/A     C
Supplies are limited and I'm all out
     F      Am/E             F   
Of any explanations of what I'm 
    Bb
all about
 Dm Am       Dm         Am
I'm tired of having to try
      Dm           Am     Dm     
To convince you if I go along it all
Bb
 will
Dm    Am    Dm            Am
Back-fire, I know you had plans
       Dm            Am           
Your intentions were grand but 
  Dm        Bb
it's out of my hands
         Bb        Dm    Am       Dm
And this isn't the way I pictured it
 Am   Dm Am Dm Bb F
  Either..

C              C/B                
So things felt weird but you said 
F/A      C
that's alright
     F            Am/E         
That it was not a problem and we 
   F         Bb
could just sit tight
C            C/B             F/A
And when you said that I was 
     C
sure I cringed
           F         Am/E         
'Cause you had no suspicion that I
F           Bb
 had come unhinged
     Dm  Am     Dm         Am
Or just tired I cannot say which
                Dm   Am           
But there's always a hitch that 
    Dm           Bb
will cause the whole thing to

Dm    Am    Dm          Am
Backfire I know you had plans
        Dm           Am           
Your intentions were grand but 
   Dm       Bb
it's out of my hands now

Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am

Dm                 Bb
But it's out of my hands now

Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Bb F

C            C/B           F/A  
I know you'd like to be the St. 
    C
Bernard
        F         Am/E      
Who rushes to the rescue when 
  F          Bb
there's an avalance
C         C/B          F/A      C
But in my panic I may pull too hard
        F            Am/E        
And the novice lifeguard gets 
F              Bb
rushed off in the ambulance
Dm  Am    Dm            Am
I'm tired I cannot seem to
         Dm       Am          Dm 
Get a message to you that the 
        Bb
rescue you planned on has just

Dm   Am     Dm           Am
Backfired I know you had plans
         Dm          Am           
Your intentions were grand but 
  Dm        Bb
it's out of my hands now
Dm Am  Dm       Am         Dm Am
           it's out of my hands now
         Bb        Dm    Am       
And this isn't the way I pictured 
Dm Am         Dm       Am  Dm
it either... (its out of my hands, 
its out of my hands now) 3x
