Verse:

D5              G5            C5                  G5              intro x 2
The first time that I met her I was throwing up in the ladies room stall

D5              G5            C5                  G5             A5
She asked me if I needed anything; I said, "I think I spilled my drink"

                  G5
And that's how it started (or so I'd like to believe)...


intro x 2


D5              G5            C5                  G5                   intro x 2
She took me to her mother's house outside of town where the stars hang down

D5              G5            C5                  G5                  A5
She said she'd never seen someone so lost, I said I'd never felt so found 

         G5                          D5
and then I kissed her on the cheek... and so she kissed me on the mouth


intro x 2


D5              G5            C5                  G5                   intro x 2
The spring was poppin' daises up 'round rusted trunks and busted lawn chairs

D5              G5            C5                  G5               A5
We moved into a studio in Council Bluffs to save a couple bucks

           G5
Where the mice came out at night, neighbors were screaming all the time


intro x 2


D5              G5            C5                  G5                intro x 2
We'd make love in the afternoons to Chelsea Girls and Bachelor No. 2

D5              G5            C5                  G5                            A5
I'd play for her some songs I wrote, she'd joke and say I'm shooting through the roof

         G5
I'd say, "They're all for you, dear, I'll write the album of the year."


intro x 2

Chorus:

D5                         G5
And I know she loved me then, I swear to God she did


C5                   B5                       A5                 G5
It was the way she'd bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips 


F5                   G5
and dig her nails so deep into my skin. 


intro x 4


Breakdown:
 
                                                       Intro x 2
The first time that I met her I was convinced I had finally found the one

                                                        A5 min
She was convinced I was under the influence of all those drunken romantics

              G5
I was reading Fante at the the time - I had bukowski on the mind


Intro x 2


Verse:

D5              G5            C5                  G5                   intro x 2
She got a job at Jacob's serving cocktails to the local drunks

D5              G5              C5                  G5                     A5
Against her will. I fit the the bill: I perched down at the end of the bar

        Gadd9                                  intro x 2
She Said, "Space is not just a place for stars- I gave you an inch, you want a house with a yard


Chorus:

D5                      G5
And I know she loved me once, but those days are done


C5                    B5               A5           G5
She used to call me everyday from a pay phone on her break for lunch

F5             G5
just to say she can't wait to come home

The last time that I saw her she was picking through which records were hers

D5              G5              C5                  G5                     A5
Her clothes were packed in boxes, with some pots and pans and books and a toaster

G5
Just then a mouse scurried across the floor
