  other sticky valentines 


  A                          | G#m        C#m |

Verse:  

  A                   | E  
  Well I see you got a husband now  


       | A                             | G#m            C#m B |  
  Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake  


  A                         | G#m     C#m  
  You used to hold him right in your hand  


        | D                        | B   |  
  But it took all that he could take  


  A                            | G#m           C#m  
  Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking  


  B     | A                            | G#m  C#m B |  
  When I hear the silly things that you say    


  A                      | G#m                  C#m  
  I think somebody better put out the big light    


       | D                         | B |  
  Cos I can't stand to see you this way    
  A | E
