G                              C
It's the kinda night that's so cold that your spit
        G
freezes before it hits the ground.
G                                    C
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar,
C                       D
'cuz if he's out tonight, he must be truly down.
      C
And I'm searchin' all the windows for a last minute present
                 Am
to prove to you that what I said was real...
    D                                 C
For something small and frail and plastic, baby
                 G
Cause cheap is how I feel.

G                        C
Half a moon in the sky tonight- not enough
   G
to come up with an answer
                                    C
to the question why is it that every time I see you
      G
my love grows a little stronger.
       C
But your memory leaves my stomach turning,
                D
feeling like a liar about to be revealed...
      Am            C
But I hoard all this to myself,
                 G
Cause cheap is how I feel.

G                                              C
It's not the smell in here that really gets to me, it's the lights-
             G
How I hate the shadows that they cast.
G                               C
And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
                  D
I'll always drag with me from my past.
           C
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight to fall into
    Am
and maybe strike a deal:
     D                   C
Your body for my soul, face swap,
                 G
Cause cheap is how I feel.
