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.
