Verse 1:
Gm7 Am7 A7
Lent you out-si -daz,
Dm
And my new Badu.
Bb7+ 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.
Bb7+
So then I bribed you,
Am7 A7
Downstairs with,
Dm
A Marlboro Red.
Bridge 1:
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.
Chorus 1:
Fm7 Eb7+
And although my pride,
Gdim G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7+
You sent me flying,
Gdim
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7+
With you battered jeans,
Gdim G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7+
Now I can't work like this,
Gdim G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Verse 2:
Gm7
And although he,
Am7 A7
Is no -thing,
Dm
In the scheme,
Of my years.
Bb7+
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,
Bb7+
But now I'm sick,
Am7
With conse-quences,
A7 Dm
Thrust in my face.
Bridge 2:
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.
Chorus 2:
Fm7 Eb7+
And although my pride,
Gdim G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7+
You sent me flying,
Gdim
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7+
With you battered jeans,
Gdim G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7+
Now I can't work like this,
Gdim G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Verse 3:
Gm7 Am7 A7
His message was bru-tal,
Dm
But the delivery was kind.
Bb7+ 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,
Bb7+ Am7
Despite my frus-tration,
A7 Dm
For the way that he thinks.
Bridge 3:
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
Chorus 3:
Fm7 Eb7+
And although my pride,
Gdim G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7+
You sent me flying,
Gdim
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7+
With you battered jeans,
Gdim G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7+
Now I can't work like this,
Gdim G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Chorus 4:
Fm7 Eb7+
And although my pride,
Gdim G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Eb7+
You sent me flying,
Gdim
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Eb7+
With you battered jeans,
Gdim G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Eb7+
Now I can't work like this,
Gdim G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
