Verse 1:
GmAmA7/5+
Lent you out-si -daz,
Dm
And my new Badu.
Bm/5b Bb7+ A7/5+
While I was thinking I,
Dm
Didn't have a clue.
GmAmA7/5+
Tough to sort files,
Dm
With your voice,
In my head.
Bm/5b Bb7+
So then I bribed you,
A7/5+
Downstairs with,
DmA Marlboro Red.
Bridge 1:
Em/5b A7/5+
So now I feel so small,
Dm
Discover-ing you knew.
Em/5b A7/5+
How much more tor-ture,
Would you have,
Dm
Put me through?
Em/5b
You probably saw me,
A7/5+
Laughing at,
Dm
All your jokes.
Em/5b A7/5+
Or how I did not mind,
When you stole,
Dm
All my smokes.
Chorus 1:
FmEb
And although my pride,
Dm/5b G7Cm
Is not easy to dis-turb,
FmEb
You sent me flying,
Dm/5b
When you kicked me,
G7Cm
To the kerb.
FmEb
With you battered jeans,
Dm/5b G7Cm
And your beastie tee,
FmEb
Now I can't work like this,
Dm/5b G7Cm
With you next to me.
Verse 2:
Gm
And although he,
AmA7/5+
Is no -thing,
Dm
In the scheme,
Of my years.
Bm/5b
It just serves,
AmA7/5+
To bludgeon my,
Dm
Futile tears.
Gm
And I'm not,
AmA7/5+
Used to this,
Dm
I observe,
I don't chase,
Bm/5b
But now I'm sick,
Am
With conse-quences,
A7/5+ Dm
Thrust in my face.
Bridge 2:
Em/5b
And the melodramas,
A7/5+ Dm
Of my day de-livery blows,
Em/5b A7/5+
That surpass your re-jection;
Dm
It just goes to show.
Em/5b
A simple attraction,
A7/5+
That reflects,
Dm
Right back to me,
Em/5b A7/5+
So I'm not as into you,
Dm
As I ap-pear to be.
Chorus 2:
FmEb
And although my pride,
Dm/5b G7Cm
Is not easy to dis-turb,
FmEb
You sent me flying,
Dm/5b
When you kicked me,
G7Cm
To the kerb.
FmEb
With you battered jeans,
Dm/5b G7Cm
And your beastie tee,
FmEb
Now I can't work like this,
Dm/5b G7Cm
With you next to me.
Verse 3:
GmAmA7/5+
His message was bru-tal,
Dm
But the delivery was kind.
Bm/5b Am
maybe if I get this down,
A7/5+ Dm
I'll get it off my mind.
GmAmA7/5+
It serves to con-dition me,
Dm
And smoothen my kinks,
Bm/5b Am
Despite my frus-tration,
A7/5+ Dm
For the way that he thinks.
Bridge 3:
Em/5b
And I knew the truth,
A7/5+
When it came,
Dm
Would be to that effect,
Em/5b
At least you're,
A7/5+
Attracted to me,
Dm
Which I did not expect.
Em/5b
Didn't think you'd,
A7/5+ Dm
Get my number down and such,
Em/5b A7/5+
But I never hated myself,
Dm
For my age so much
Chorus 3:
FmEb
And although my pride,
Dm/5b G7Cm
Is not easy to dis-turb,
FmEb
You sent me flying,
Dm/5b
When you kicked me,

To the kerb.
FmEb
With you battered jeans,
Dm/5b G7Cm
And your beastie tee,
FmEb
Now I can't work like this,
Dm/5b G7Cm
With you next to me.
Chorus 4:
FmEb
And although my pride,
Dm/5b G7Cm
Is not easy to dis-turb,

You sent me flying,
Dm/5b
When you kicked me,
G7Cm
To the kerb.
FmEb
With you battered jeans,
Dm/5b G7Cm
And your beastie tee,
FmEb
Now I can't work like this,
