Verse 1: 

Gm7           Am7 A7 
 Lent you out-si -daz, 
Dm 
 And my new Badu. 
Bb7M       Am7      A7 
 While I was thinking I, 
            Dm 
Didn't have a clue. 


Gm7       Am7  A7 
 Tough to sort files, 
Dm 
 With your voice, 

In my head. 
Bb7M 
 So then I bribed you, 
Am7         A7 
 Downstairs with, 
           Dm 
A Marlboro Red. 

Bridge 1: 
   Gm7           A7 
So now I feel so small, 
         Dm 
Discover-ing you knew. 
Gm7                A7 
 How much more tor-ture, 

Would you have, 
Dm 
 Put me through? 
    Gm7 
You probably saw me, 
A7 
 Laughing at, 
Dm 
 All your jokes. 
   Gm7           A7 
Or how I did not mind, 

When you stole, 
Dm 
 All my smokes. 

Chorus 1: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G° G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G° 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 2: 
Gm7 
 And although he, 
   Am7 A7 
Is no -thing, 
Dm 
 In the scheme, 

Of my years. 
Bb7M 
 It just serves, 
   Am7      A7 
To bludgeon my, 
       Dm 
Futile tears. 


Gm7 
 And I'm not, 
Am7      A7 
 Used to this, 
Dm 
 I observe, 

I don't chase, 
Bb7M 
 But now I'm sick, 
           Am7 
With conse-quences, 
A7            Dm 
 Thrust in my face. 

Bridge 2: 
        Gm7 
And the melodramas, 
A7            Dm 
 Of my day de-livery blows, 
     Gm7             A7 
That surpass your re-jection; 
        Dm 
It just goes to show. 


  Gm7 
A simple attraction, 
A7 
 That reflects, 
      Dm 
Right back to me, 
   Gm7             A7 
So I'm not as into you, 
        Dm 
As I ap-pear to be. 

Chorus 2: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G° G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G° 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Verse 3: 
Gm7              Am7 A7 
 His message was bru-tal, 
Dm 
 But the delivery was kind. 
Bb7M               Am7 
 maybe if I get this down, 
     A7     Dm 
I'll get it off my mind. 


Gm7               Am7    A7 
 It serves to con-dition me, 
Dm 
 And smoothen my kinks, 
Bb7M           Am7 
 Despite my frus-tration, 
        A7          Dm 
For the way that he thinks. 

Bridge 3: 
               Gm7 
And I knew the truth, 
        A7 
When it came, 
            Dm 
Would be to that effect, 
   Gm7 
At least you're, 
             A7 
Attracted to me, 
            Dm 
Which I did not expect. 


Gm7 
 Didn't think you'd, 
A7             Dm 
 Get my number down and such, 
      Gm7         A7 
But I never hated myself, 
       Dm 
For my age so much 

Chorus 3: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G° G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G° 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me. 

Chorus 4: 
Fm7              Eb7M 
 And although my pride, 
       G° G7     Cm7 
Is not easy to dis-turb, 
Fm7          Eb7M 
 You sent me flying, 
         G° 
When you kicked me, 
G7      Cm7 
 To the kerb. 


Fm7                Eb7M 
 With you battered jeans, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 And your beastie tee, 
Fm7                    Eb7M 
 Now I can't work like this, 
G°      G7      Cm7 
 With you next to me.
