[Verse 1]
C#m       Ab/C                  A        Abm
Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl,
C#m       Ab/C                   A         Ab/C
A very different version than you've ever heard.
C#m        Ab/C              A        Abm
Ok so I'm lying but all I'm trying to say,
C#m          Ab/C                A  Ab/C
This isn't about the one that got away.

C#m     Ab/C        A   Abm
Watch it from your ivory tower,
C#m              Ab/C           A         Ab/C
Paint the sky grey, like a coward.
C#m         Ab/C           A     Abm
 (How long you got?) I can go for hours.
C#m           Ab/C        A     Ab/C 
A sweet little tale that ended sour,
F#m
My words will ring in your ears.


[Chorus 1]
C#m                 A                   E                   B
Take my advice and leave right now. You gotta find a way to sell yourself,
C#m            A          E         B
To someone who cares, to someone desperate.

C#m  Ab/C  A  Abm    
C#m  Ab/C  A   Ab/C


[Verse 2]
C#m           Ab/C         A        Abm
First came along my friends were dubious,
C#m              Ab/C     A            Ab/C 
She cared for the stage, not who she was with.
C#m              Ab/C           A        Abm
I brushed it off and hit the road,
C#m         Ab/C          A       Ab/C 
Only to hear she's in the other's pose.

C#m        Ab/C    A      Abm
It was the end of summer in 2009,
C#m       Ab/C           A         Ab/C 
I wasn't really looking but what did I find?
C#m     Ab/C       A       Abm 
A golden girl with golden hair,
C#m       Ab/C       A        Ab/C
When I was with her everybody stared.


[Pre-chorus]
      A        B          C#m  B   A
And I couldn't believe my luck had changed.
      E                    B
And I asked so nice but I wouldn't stay

[Chorus 2]
C#m                 A                   E                   B
Take my advice and leave right now. You gotta find a way to sell yourself,
C#m            A          E         B
To someone who cares, to someone desperate.

C#m                          A              
Beggars can't be choosers, so I wouldn't choose you,
     E           B                  C#m
I've got better things to do with my time
A               E      B          C#m
I would bear in mind, what was in this line

[Bridge]

Na na na   na na na   na na na, na na na   na na na   na.
Na na na   na na na   na na na, na na na   na na na   na.
C#m
She said who do you, she said who do you,
C#m
She said who do you, she said who, do you!?

Who, do you? who do you?
I said who do you, I said who do you.
C#m         C#m        C#m        E
Who do you, who do you, think you are,
C#m         C#m        C#m       F#
Who do you, who do you, think you are,
C#m         C#m        C#m        Abm
Who do you, who do you, think you are,
C#m         C#m        C#m        E
Who do you, who do you, think, you, are!
