Verse 1 (arpeggiated)
        D5           A5         B5        A5
Well my kind's been around forever
      D5           A5          B5        A5
And I claim to be one of the few
        D5             A5           B5         A5
And the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
        D5        A5             B5        A5
Cus I'm gay as a choir boy for you
        D5         A5             B5       A5
You got hair that recalls me of rivers
     D5            A5            B5        A5
Runs softly while you dream of you
         D5           A5            B5        A5
But your heart is so cold that it shivers
               D5           A5         B5      A5
Cus all that I know is I'm nothin to you

Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1, strummed)
And I followed you into the party
And no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my forty
And played make beleive it was you
But I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings you've got quite a few
I filled up your bags with my longings
And searched through this whole wide city for you

Verse 3 (Same as Verse 1, arpeggiated)
And we'll walk 'neath the street lamps forever
You'll say 'you remind me of you'
It's so d#mn cliche that it's clever
It's so f#ckin' false, you think that it's true
Cus I heard that you forgot you were lover
And lovers you've got one or two
But you can't tell one from the other
Now momma, now your nothing to you
