IntroEmVerse 1CmD
Well, King Midas put his hands on me again?
GB
He said one day I'd realize why I don't have any friends
CmD
I find myself alone at night unless I'm havin' sex
EmEm
But he can make me golden if I just showed some respect
[Refrain]
CmD
But I don't let him touch me anymore
GB
I said "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored
CmD
'Cause I have spent too many nights on dirty bathroom floors
EmEm
To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

ChorusCmD
And now I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking
GB
That I almost gave you everything
CmD
And now the whole thing's finished and I can't stop wishing
EmEm
That I never gave you anything
Verse 2CmD
You wrote a hundred letters just for me
GB
And I find them in my closet in the pockets of my jeans

Now I'm constantly reminded of the time I was nineteen
EmEm
Every single one's forgotten in a laundromat machine
[Refrain]
