Capo 4
Intro: A (one strum )
A5 F#5
Never thought that I could feel such a slap in the face
A5 F#5
Since my semester in New York where I drank it away
A5 F#5
Social strategies are taught to Bohemian crowds
A5 F#5
And my love was like a food stamp handing it out
A5
Oh, though I fell in love with you, all fey and grizzled and mature
F#5
You left me naked, pining, whining on your bathroom floor
A5
If it makes you jealous, tell us just which boy we should adore
F#5
Only talk about myself, so I don't mind that he's a bore
A5 F#5 D5 E5
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E5 A5
He'll have to do
A5 F#5
Mountain man, brag about your band to me
A5 F#5
You got me hot with all those snide remarks about my poetry
A5 F#5
But he gobbles up every single line about the stars
A5 F#5
And how they scar my slightly chubby arms like brightly lit cigars
A5 F#5 A5
So now he's next to me but I can feel you in my heart
F#5
You're everything, you're everything he'll never be
A5 F#5 D5 E5
It's misery and more specifically, I miss that day you spit on me
A5 F#5 D5 E5
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E5 A5
He'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5 E5
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E5 A5
He'll have to do
A5 F#5
He's got no inkling of your status or mind
A5 F#5
He's just the glue that I splatter to bind
A5 F#5
You and I like Siamese twins
A5 F#5 D5
So let this sick sad game begin
A5 F#5 A5
Now you're here again and he will wonder where I've been
F#5
I'm giving in but in my own opinion, it's how to be
A5
Though I can hear him singing
D5 E5 D5
All this envy's killing me, it's killing me
A5 F#5 D5 E5
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E5 A5
He'll have to do
(Through this next chorus a second voice sings "and every time I see your face I die
inside" extended through each line, listen to the song to hear how this goes)
A5 F#5 D5 E5
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A5 F#5 D5
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E5 A5
He'll have to do
F#5 A5 E5 (end on E5 )
