Chorus 1

Tell all of your friends that I'm crazy

and drive you mad

That I'm such a stalker, a watcher,

a psycho path

Then tell them you hate me

and dated me just for laughs

So, why do you call me and tell me

you want me back?

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

When a song moves through a lot of chords, the strumming hand has to stay steady through every switch. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and the timing that make changes easier. Smooth out your strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
