CG
I once had a girlfriend
AmEm
But then one day she dumped me
FGC
And everywhere I go people would ask me where she was
FG
I don't want to talk about her
FG
Someone always asks about her
FGC
So I tell them all: my girlfriend's dead
CGAmEm
I say it's leukemia or sometimes bulimia
FGC
Or a great big truck ran her over and chopped off her head
FG
I don't want to talk about her
FG
But someone always asks about her
FGC
So I tell them all: she's dead
CG
I guess there's a part of me
AmEm
That lacks sympathy
FG
Oh, the looks on their faces when I tell them
C
How she passed away
FG
I don't want to talk about her
FG
But someone always asks about her
FGC
So I tell them all shes dead
AmF
My girlfriend's dead , you see
GC
It's a total lie but it's easier on me
FGC
Than having to admit that she likes someone else
AmF
My girlfriend's dead , you know
GC
Please change the subject, I'm going to go
FGC
Jump off a building and join her in heaven
FG
I don't want to talk about her
FG
But someone always asks about her
FGC
So I tell them all: she's dead
CG
I once had a girlfriend
AmEm
But then one day she dumped me
FGC
And everywhere I go people would ask me where she was
FG
I don't want to talk about her
FG
Someone always asks about her
FGC
So I tell them all: my girlfriend's dead
