Let's not fight it anymore..unpack your bags 
                               E
and close the door..girl, I'll never leave you.
           Bm                  E
Though you lied right from the start..I can't
   Bm               E              A
convince my foolish heart not to believe you.
A
You've got two good men strung out..and there's
A7                                  D
not the slightest doubt..that other men have loved
      Dm
you before.
        A                                 Bm
But you do your thing so well..I dream of Heaven and
          E                 D          A
I live in Hell..til I can't take it anymore.

If I had one ounce of pride..I'd stand up or step aside..
            E
but I still love you.
         Bm                    E                 Bm
So, I'll accept the crumbs you drop..cause I'm a fool and 
        E             A
I can't stop or rise above you.
A                                                    A7
Let them speak up for themselves..I speak for me and no 
                     D                       Dm
one else cause I'm a beggar knockin' on your door.
        A                                 Bm
But you do your thing so well..I dream of Heaven and
          E                 D          A
I live in Hell..til I can't take it anymore.
