Verse 1: 

G5           A5 A5 
 Lent you out-si -daz, 
D5 
 And my new Badu. 
Bb5       A5      A5 
 While I was thinking I, 
            D5 
Didn't have a clue. 


G5       A5  A5 
 Tough to sort files, 
D5 
 With your voice, 

In my head. 
Bb5 
 So then I bribed you, 
A5         A5 
 Downstairs with, 
           D5 
A Marlboro Red. 

Bridge 1: 
   G5           A5 
So now I feel so small, 
         D5 
Discover-ing you knew. 
G5                A5 
 How much more tor-ture, 

Would you have, 
D5 
 Put me through? 
    G5 
You probably saw me, 
A5 
 Laughing at, 
D5 
 All your jokes. 
   G5           A5 
Or how I did not mind, 

When you stole, 
D5 
 All my smokes. 

Chorus 1: 
F5              Eb5 
 And although my pride, 
       G5 G5     C5 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
F5          Eb5 
 You sent me flying, 
         G5 
When you kicked me, 
G5      C5 
 To the kerb. 


F5                Eb5 
 With you battered jeans, 
G5      G5      C5 
 And your beastie tee, 
F5                    Eb5 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G5      G5      C5 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 2: 
G5 
 And although he, 
   A5 A5 
Is no -thing, 
D5 
 In the scheme, 

Of my years. 
Bb5 
 It just serves, 
   A5      A5 
To bludgeon my, 
       D5 
Futile tears. 


G5 
 And I'm not, 
A5      A5 
 Used to this, 
D5 
 I observe, 

I don't chase, 
Bb5 
 But now I'm sick, 
           A5 
With conse-quences, 
A5            D5 
 Thrust in my face. 

Bridge 2: 
        G5 
And the melodramas, 
A5            D5 
 Of my day de-livery blows, 
     G5             A5 
That surpass your re-jection; 
        D5 
It just goes to show. 


  G5 
A simple attraction, 
A5 
 That reflects, 
      D5 
Right back to me, 
   G5             A5 
So I'm not as into you, 
        D5 
As I ap-pear to be. 

Chorus 2: 
F5              Eb5 
 And although my pride, 
       G5 G5     C5 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
F5          Eb5 
 You sent me flying, 
         G5 
When you kicked me, 
G5      C5 
 To the kerb. 


F5                Eb5 
 With you battered jeans, 
G5      G5      C5 
 And your beastie tee, 
F5                    Eb5 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G5      G5      C5 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 3: 
G5              A5 A5 
 His message was bru-tal, 
D5 
 But the delivery was kind. 
Bb5               A5 
 maybe if I get this down, 
     A5     D5 
I'll get it off my mind. 


G5               A5    A5 
 It serves to con-dition me, 
D5 
 And smoothen my kinks, 
Bb5           A5 
 Despite my frus-tration, 
        A5          D5 
For the way that he thinks. 

Bridge 3: 
               G5 
And I knew the truth, 
        A5 
When it came, 
            D5 
Would be to that effect, 
   G5 
At least you're, 
             A5 
Attracted to me, 
            D5 
Which I did not expect. 


G5 
 Didn't think you'd, 
A5             D5 
 Get my number down and such, 
      G5         A5 
But I never hated myself, 
       D5 
For my age so much 

Chorus 3: 
F5              Eb5 
 And although my pride, 
       G5 G5     C5 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
F5          Eb5 
 You sent me flying, 
         G5 
When you kicked me, 
G5      C5 
 To the kerb. 


F5                Eb5 
 With you battered jeans, 
G5      G5      C5 
 And your beastie tee, 
F5                    Eb5 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G5      G5      C5 
 With you next to me. 

Chorus 4: 
F5              Eb5 
 And although my pride, 
       G5 G5     C5 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
F5          Eb5 
 You sent me flying, 
         G5 
When you kicked me, 
G5      C5 
 To the kerb. 


F5                Eb5 
 With you battered jeans, 
G5      G5      C5 
 And your beastie tee, 
F5                    Eb5 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G5      G5      C5 
 With you next to me.
