Verse 1: 

Gm7           Am7 A7 
 Lent you out-si -daz, 
Dm 
 And my new Badu. 
Bb7M       Am7      A7 
 While I was thinking I, 
            Dm 
Didn't have a clue. 


Gm7       Am7  A7 
 Tough to sort files, 
Dm 
 With your voice, 

In my head. 
Bb7M 
 So then I bribed you, 
Am7         A7 
 Downstairs with, 
           Dm 
A Marlboro Red. 

Bridge 1: 
   Gm7           A7 
So now I feel so small, 
         Dm 
Discover-ing you knew. 
Gm7                A7 
 How much more tor-ture, 

Would you have, 
Dm 
 Put me through? 
    Gm7 
You probably saw me, 
A7 
 Laughing at, 
Dm 
 All your jokes. 
   Gm7           A7 
Or how I did not mind, 

When you stole, 
Dm 
 All my smokes. 

Chorus 1: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G? G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G? 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 2: 
Gm7 
 And although he, 
   Am7 A7 
Is no -thing, 
Dm 
 In the scheme, 

Of my years. 
Bb7M 
 It just serves, 
   Am7      A7 
To bludgeon my, 
       Dm 
Futile tears. 


Gm7 
 And I'm not, 
Am7      A7 
 Used to this, 
Dm 
 I observe, 

I don't chase, 
Bb7M 
 But now I'm sick, 
           Am7 
With conse-quences, 
A7            Dm 
 Thrust in my face. 

Bridge 2: 
        Gm7 
And the melodramas, 
A7            Dm 
 Of my day de-livery blows, 
     Gm7             A7 
That surpass your re-jection; 
        Dm 
It just goes to show. 


  Gm7 
A simple attraction, 
A7 
 That reflects, 
      Dm 
Right back to me, 
   Gm7             A7 
So I'm not as into you, 
        Dm 
As I ap-pear to be. 

Chorus 2: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G? G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G? 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 3: 
Gm7              Am7 A7 
 His message was bru-tal, 
Dm 
 But the delivery was kind. 
Bb7M               Am7 
 maybe if I get this down, 
     A7     Dm 
I'll get it off my mind. 


Gm7               Am7    A7 
 It serves to con-dition me, 
Dm 
 And smoothen my kinks, 
Bb7M           Am7 
 Despite my frus-tration, 
        A7          Dm 
For the way that he thinks. 

Bridge 3: 
               Gm7 
And I knew the truth, 
        A7 
When it came, 
            Dm 
Would be to that effect, 
   Gm7 
At least you're, 
             A7 
Attracted to me, 
            Dm 
Which I did not expect. 


Gm7 
 Didn't think you'd, 
A7             Dm 
 Get my number down and such, 
      Gm7         A7 
But I never hated myself, 
       Dm 
For my age so much 

Chorus 3: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G? G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G? 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Chorus 4: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G? G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G? 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G?      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me.
