Verse 1 (arpeggiated)
        D           A         Bm9        A
Well my kind's been around forever
      D           A          Bm9        A
And I claim to be one of the few
        D             A           Bm9         A
And the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
        D        A             Bm9        A
Cus I'm gay as a choir boy for you
        D         A             Bm9       A
You got hair that recalls me of rivers
     D            A            Bm9        A
Runs softly while you dream of you
         D           A            Bm9        A
But your heart is so cold that it shivers
               D           A         Bm9      A
Cus all that I know is I'm nothin to you

Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1, strummed)
And I followed you into the party
And no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my forty
And played make beleive it was you
But I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings you've got quite a few
I filled up your bags with my longings
And searched through this whole wide city for you

Verse 3 (Same as Verse 1, arpeggiated)
And we'll walk 'neath the street lamps forever
You'll say 'you remind me of you'
It's so d#mn cliche that it's clever
It's so f#ckin' false, you think that it's true
Cus I heard that you forgot you were lover
And lovers you've got one or two
But you can't tell one from the other
Now momma, now your nothing to you
