G5     F5        G5     F5
Jesus stole my baby
G5     F5        G5     F5
Jesus stole my girl
G5            F5          G5          F5
He took her away for an hour every Sunday
D5                 C5         D5
And cut all of her beautiful curls

G5       F5      G5      F5
She was always easy
G5     F5           G5     F5
Seven days of the week
G5           F5             G5         F5
Now she's a bore and I've seen it before
D5                      C5            D5
She thinks it gives her some kind of mystique

G5                  F5        G5        F5
Said that she just wants to save me
G5                        F5            G5     F5
Said you can't go on the way that you are
G5                 F5                 G5             F5
She chased all my friends, hurts my brain till it bends
         D5             C5         D5
Hides my cigarettes and steals my guitar

( F5   G5   D5 )   (3x)

F5   G5             D5    F5          G5       D5
       And it's a long time since she was mine,
   F5       G5    D5
Pretending I am fine
F5       G5      F5          B5        A5
Another simple boy on the telephone line
           D5      F5      G5         D5
And though she is living here with me
    F5      G5     D5
I'm aching to be free
    F5        G5      F5        B5     A5
She takes it all so god damn seriously

( G5   F5 )  (4x)

          G5              F5             G5          F5
Well I've always been in love with her treasure
        G5                F5            G5        F5
But she might as well be locked up in chains
       G5            F5          G5          F5
When I ask she says no and I'm feeling so low
    D5               C5          D5
I'm bursting from my feet to my brains

G5                   F5            G5       F5
Now if I could only talk to this Jesus
    G5                 F5           G5      F5
I'd tell him just how lonely I've been
    G5          F5            G5     F5
I'd ask him to send home my baby again
           D5             C5               D5
So she can see what kinda state I've been in

G5     F5        G5      F5
Jesus stole my baby
   G5     F5              G5     F5
So maybe I should steal his
    G5          F5
She used to be mine
             G5          F5
Now she's so dull and divine
           D5                  C5           D5
May not be nice but that's the way that it is

( F5   G5   D5 )   (3x)

F5   G5           D5    F5     G5        D5
        And I'm lost here among the clowns
F5     G5      D5
Jesus men in gowns
    F5       G5   F5      B5       A5
All sandals and out of tune guitars
        D5        F5    G5    D5
And she talks in terrified tones
   F5    G5   D5
Of skeleton bones
F5         G5         F5       B5   A5
Screaming through a mangled microphone

F5   G5             D5    F5          G5       D5
       And it's a long time since she was mine,
   F5       G5    D5
Pretending I am fine
F5       G5      F5          B5        A5
Another simple boy on the telephone line
           D5      F5      G5         D5
And though she is living here with me
    F5      G5     D5
I'm aching to be free
    F5        G5      F5        B5     A5
She takes it all so god damn seriously
