Tabbed by Robin Young

Intro: G (for 4 measures)
                   Em7  D7/F#              G
Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone
                        Em7   D7/F#               G
You wish that they hadn’t, you don’t wanna be alone
                  Em7         D7/F#                G
But they wanna kiss, and they got homes of their own
                   Em7  D7/F#              G          D7/F#      Em7
Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone, have gone, have gone

        D     D/F#         G
And you don’t love your girlfriend
    D     D/F#         G
You don’t love your girlfriend
        D     D/F#                    G                 D/F#
And you think that you should but she thinks that she’s fat
          G                 D/F#        D
But she isn’t but you don’t love her anyway

        D/F#       G      D
And you don’t love your mother
        D/F#      G        D
And you know that you should
        D/F#           G
And you think that you should
        D/F#     D
But you don’t anyway

G                  Em7        D/F#        G
Poor little rich boy, all the world is okay
                           Em7        D/F#         G
The water runs off your skin and down into the drain
                        Em7               D/F#    G
You’re reading Fitzgerald, you’re reading Hemingway
                       Em7            D/F#       G D/F# Em7
They’re both super-smart and drinking in  the café


        D     D/F#         G
And you don’t love your girlfriend
    D     D/F#         G
You don’t love your girlfriend
        D     D/F#                    G                 D/F#
And you think that you should but she thinks that she’s fat
          G                 D/F#        D
But she isn’t but you don’t love her anyway


        D          D/F#   G
And you don’t love your mother
    D         D/F#     G
You know that you should
        D/F#          G
And you wish that you would
        D/F#     G
But you don’t anyway
