Verse 1:
Gm7 Am7 A7/5+
Lent you out-si -daz,
Dm7
And my new Badu.
Bm7/5b Bb7+ A7/5+
While I was thinking I,
Dm7
Didn't have a clue.
Gm7 Am7 A7/5+
Tough to sort files,
Dm7
With your voice,
In my head.
Bm7/5b Bb7+
So then I bribed you,
A7/5+
Downstairs with,
Dm7
A Marlboro Red.
Bridge 1:
Em7/5b A7/5+
So now I feel so small,
Dm7
Discover-ing you knew.
Em7/5b A7/5+
How much more tor-ture,
Would you have,
Dm7
Put me through?
Em7/5b
You probably saw me,
A7/5+
Laughing at,
Dm7
All your jokes.
Em7/5b A7/5+
Or how I did not mind,
When you stole,
Dm7
All my smokes.
Chorus 1:
Fm7 Ebmaj7
And although my pride,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
You sent me flying,
Dm7/5b
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Ebmaj7
With you battered jeans,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
Now I can't work like this,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Verse 2:
Gm7
And although he,
Am7 A7/5+
Is no -thing,
Dm7
In the scheme,
Of my years.
Bm7/5b
It just serves,
Am7 A7/5+
To bludgeon my,
Dm7
Futile tears.
Gm7
And I'm not,
Am7 A7/5+
Used to this,
Dm7
I observe,
I don't chase,
Bm7/5b
But now I'm sick,
Am7
With conse-quences,
A7/5+ Dm7
Thrust in my face.
Bridge 2:
Em7/5b
And the melodramas,
A7/5+ Dm7
Of my day de-livery blows,
Em7/5b A7/5+
That surpass your re-jection;
Dm7
It just goes to show.
Em7/5b
A simple attraction,
A7/5+
That reflects,
Dm7
Right back to me,
Em7/5b A7/5+
So I'm not as into you,
Dm7
As I ap-pear to be.
Chorus 2:
Fm7 Ebmaj7
And although my pride,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
You sent me flying,
Dm7/5b
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Ebmaj7
With you battered jeans,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
Now I can't work like this,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Verse 3:
Gm7 Am7 A7/5+
His message was bru-tal,
Dm7
But the delivery was kind.
Bm7/5b Am7
maybe if I get this down,
A7/5+ Dm
I'll get it off my mind.
Gm7 Am7 A7/5+
It serves to con-dition me,
Dm7
And smoothen my kinks,
Bm7/5b Am7
Despite my frus-tration,
A7/5+ Dm7
For the way that he thinks.
Bridge 3:
Em7/5b
And I knew the truth,
A7/5+
When it came,
Dm7
Would be to that effect,
Em7/5b
At least you're,
A7/5+
Attracted to me,
Dm7
Which I did not expect.
Em7/5b
Didn't think you'd,
A7/5+ Dm7
Get my number down and such,
Em7/5b A7/5+
But I never hated myself,
Dm7
For my age so much
Chorus 3:
Fm7 Ebmaj7
And although my pride,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
You sent me flying,
Dm7/5b
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Ebmaj7
With you battered jeans,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
Now I can't work like this,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
With you next to me.
Chorus 4:
Fm7 Ebmaj7
And although my pride,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
Is not easy to dis-turb,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
You sent me flying,
Dm7/5b
When you kicked me,
G7 Cm7
To the kerb.
Fm7 Ebmaj7
With you battered jeans,
Dm7/5b G7 Cm7
And your beastie tee,
Fm7 Ebmaj7
Now I can't work like this,

With you next to me.
