Intro: A E Bm D 2x


Verse 1:


A             E          Bm           D
You threw me out on the sidewalk last night, 
A             E               Bm         D
You dumped my clothes out the window too.
A         E            Bm             D
I threw rocks at the glass panes and wood, 
            A      E        Bm           D   
We need to talk I needed a word with you.

A       E          Bm           D
We made up on the couch on the floor, 
A        E         Bm            D
But you told me I needed to lose
A       E           Bm       D
A few pounds on the body I loved, 
           A          E             Bm         D
I went to work and I talked with a man I grew up with.


Chorus:


He said, 
A       E                          F#m     E           D
"Oh, a sad sight you are, you are slowly unraveling me.
A        E                          F#m         E           D
Oh, no tears on a Tuesday you need better than what he can give you.
F#m          E           D
Better than what he can give you."


Interlude: A E Bm D 2x


Verse 2:

A           E         Bm          D
He held me tight for longer than normal, 
A           E       Bm           D
I cuddled close, I couldn't believe it.
A             E          Bm          D
He whispered words in my ear it was nice, 
        A          E            Bm            D
But it wasn't the same when he called me the wrong name.

A      E            Bm              D
I ran off down the street down the corner, 
        A       E            Bm      D
And he caught me in his arms.
A         E         Bm         D
And once again he delivered a comfort, 
   A          E          Bm          D
A need I had known ever since I was young.


Chorus:


He said, 
A       E                            F#m      E          D
"Oh, a sweet sight you are, you are slowly unraveling me.
A         E                           F#m           E              D
Oh, I 'd kill for your heart. What a strange man indeed who would lose you.
    F#m          E              D
A strange man indeed who could lose you."


Interlude: A E D 4x

A hold     E hold                       F#m      E       D
Oh,     a sweet sight you are, you are slowly undoing me.
A        E                           F#m           E              D
Oh, I'd kill for your heart. What a strange man indeed who could lose you.
   F#m           E              D hold
A strange man indeed who could lose you.
