Intro: D,BM

D (xx0232@1)                   BM
He was in the habit of taking things for granted
         D (xx0232@1)                         BM
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
       Em (022000@1)                            G (320003@1)                           DAnd (xx0232@1)the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change

     (D)                             BM       
Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
     D (xx0232@1)                         BM  
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
       Em (022000@1)                            GAnd (320003@1)the only thing constant was the constant reminder
           A (x02220@1)He'd never change

And so she yelled at him:
    D (xx0232@1)            
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (D)
You owe me an IOU
     Em (022000@1)               GDon't (320003@1)think that I'll forget

 Em (022000@1)               G (320003@1)      AI (x02220@1)know what I should get this time

D (xx0232@1)                    BM
She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
        D (xx0232@1)                  BM
Makeup, eaten up by crocodile tears
       Em (022000@1)                            G (320003@1)                            DAnd (xx0232@1)the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

(D)                 BM
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
D (xx0232@1)                             BM
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
       Em (022000@1)                            G (320003@1)                            AAnd (x02220@1)the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)          DOh... (xx0232@1)Is it real? I don't know
          F# (244322@1)         GBut, (320003@1)I'll act as if it is
(G)       Em (022000@1)          DWhat's (xx0232@1)our deal? I don't know
          F# (244322@1)         G (320003@1)                     Gm (355333@1)       
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is
                    AIf (x02220@1)it is, then this might just work

D (xx0232@1)                      BM                      
They were in the habit of taking things for granted
        D (xx0232@1)                             BM
