Introduction:
Gm7 Am7 A7
Lent you out-si -daz,
Dm
And my new Badu.
Bb7M Am7 A7
While I was thinking I,
Dm
Didn't have a clue.
Gm7 Am7 A7
Tough to sort files,
Dm
With your voice,
In my head.
Bb7M
So then I bribed you,
Am7 A7
Downstairs with,
Dm
A Marlboro Red.
Gm7 A7
So now I feel so small,
Dm
Discover-ing you knew.
Gm7 A7
How much more tor-ture,
Would you have,
Dm
Put me through?
Gm7
You probably saw me,
A7
Laughing at,
Dm
All your jokes.
Gm7 A7
Or how I did not mind,
When you stole,
Dm
All my smokes.
Fm7 Eb7M
And although my pride,
Gº G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7M
You sent me flying,
Gº
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7M
With you battered jeans,
Gº G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7M
Now I can't work like this,
Gº G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Gm7
And although he,
Am7 A7
Is no -thing,
Dm
In the scheme,
Of my years.
Bb7M
It just serves,
Am7 A7
To bludgeon my,
Dm
Futile tears.
Gm7
And I'm not,
Am7 A7
Used to this,
Dm
I observe,
I don't chase,
Bb7M
But now I'm sick,
Am7
With conse-quences,
A7 Dm
Thrust in my face.
Gm7
And the melodramas,
A7 Dm
Of my day de-livery blows,
Gm7 A7
That surpass your re-jection
Dm
It just goes to show.
Gm7
A simple attraction,
A7
That reflects,
Dm
Right back to me,
Gm7 A7
So I'm not as into you,
Dm
As I ap-pear to be.
Fm7 Eb7M
And although my pride,
Gº G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7M
You sent me flying,
Gº
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7M
With you battered jeans,
Gº G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7M
Now I can't work like this,
Gº G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Gm7 Am7 A7
His message was bru-tal,
Dm
But the delivery was kind.
Bb7M Am7
maybe if I get this down,
A7 Dm
I'll get it off my mind.
Gm7 Am7 A7
It serves to con-dition me,
Dm
And smoothen my kinks,
Bb7M Am7
Despite my frus-tration,
A7 Dm
For the way that he thinks.
Gm7
And I knew the truth,
A7
When it came,
Dm
Would be to that effect,
Gm7
At least you're,
A7
Attracted to me,
Dm
Which I did not expect.
Gm7
Didn't think you'd,
A7 Dm
Get my number down and such,
Gm7 A7
But I never hated myself,
Dm
For my age so much
Fm7 Eb7M
And although my pride,
Gº G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7M
You sent me flying,
Gº
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7M
With you battered jeans,
Gº G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7M
Now I can't work like this,
Gº G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Fm7 Eb7M
And although my pride,
Gº G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7M
You sent me flying,
Gº
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7M
With you battered jeans,
Gº G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7M
Now I can't work like this,
Gº G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
