Verse 1:
(Solm7) (Lam7) (La7)
Lent you out-si -daz,
(Rem)
And my new Badu.
(Sib7)+ (Lam7) (La7)
While I was thinking I,
(Rem)
Didn\'t have a clue.
(Solm7) (Lam7) (La7)
Tough to sort files,
(Rem)
With your voice,
In my head.
(Sib7)+
So then I bribed you,
(Lam7) (La7)
Downstairs with,
(Rem)
A Marlboro Red.
Bridge 1:
(Solm7) (La7)
So now I feel so small,
(Rem)
Discover-ing you knew.
(Solm7) (La7)
How much more tor-ture,
Would you have,
(Rem)
Put me through?
(Solm7)
You probably saw me,
(La7)
Laughing at,
(Rem)
All your jokes.
(Solm7) (La7)
Or how I did not mind,
When you stole,
(Rem)
All my smokes.
Chorus 1:
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
And although my pride,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
Is not easy to dis-turb,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
You sent me flying,
(Soldim)
When you kicked me,
(Sol7) (Dom7)
To the kerb.
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
With you battered jeans,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
And your beastie tee,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
Now I can\'t work like this,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
With you next to me.
Verse 2:
(Solm7)
And although he,
(Lam7) (La7)
Is no -thing,
(Rem)
In the scheme,
Of my years.
(Sib7)+
It just serves,
(Lam7) (La7)
To bludgeon my,
(Rem)
Futile tears.
(Solm7)
And I\'m not,
(Lam7) (La7)
Used to this,
(Rem)
I observe,
I don\'t chase,
(Sib7)+
But now I\'m sick,
(Lam7)
With conse-quences,
(La7) (Rem)
Thrust in my face.
Bridge 2:
(Solm7)
And the melodramas,
(La7) (Rem)
Of my day de-livery blows,
(Solm7) (La7)
That surpass your (Re)-jection;
(Rem)
It just goes to show.
(Solm7)
A simple attraction,
(La7)
That reflects,
(Rem)
Right back to me,
(Solm7) (La7)
So I\'m not as into you,
(Rem)
As I ap-pear to be.
Chorus 2:
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
And although my pride,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
Is not easy to dis-turb,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
You sent me flying,
(Soldim)
When you kicked me,
(Sol7) (Dom7)
To the kerb.
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
With you battered jeans,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
And your beastie tee,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
Now I can\'t work like this,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
With you next to me.
Verse 3:
(Solm7) (Lam7) (La7)
His message was bru-tal,
(Rem)
But the delivery was kind.
(Sib7)+ (Lam7)
maybe if I get this down,
(La7) (Rem)
I\'ll get it off my mind.
(Solm7) (Lam7) (La7)
It serves to con-dition me,
(Rem)
And smoothen my kinks,
Sib7+ (Lam7)
Despite my frus-tration,
(La7) (Rem)
For the way that he thinks.
Bridge 3:
(Solm7)
And I knew the truth,
(La7)
When it came,
(Rem)
Would be to that effect,
(Solm7)
At least you\'re,
(La7)
Attracted to me,
(Rem)
Which I did not expect.
(Solm7)
Didn\'t think you\'d,
(La7) (Rem)
Get my number down and such,
(Solm7) (La7)
But I never hated myself,
(Rem)
For my age so much
Chorus 3:
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
And although my pride,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
Is not easy to dis-turb,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
You sent me flying,
(Soldim)
When you kicked me,
(Sol7) (Dom7)
To the kerb.
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
With you battered jeans,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
And your beastie tee,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
Now I can\'t work like this,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
With you next to me.
Chorus 4:
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
And although my pride,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
Is not easy to dis-turb,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
You sent me flying,
(Soldim)
When you kicked me,
(Sol7) (Dom7)
To the kerb.
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
With you battered jeans,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
And your beastie tee,
(Fam7) (Mib7)+
Now I can\'t work like this,
(Soldim) (Sol7) (Dom7)
With you next to me.
