Intro
[Em]
Verse 1
[Em]
Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
[Em]
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
[B7] [Em]
Whoa, and then I let him go
[Em]
Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
[Em]
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
[B7] [Em]
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway
Pre-Chorus
(Muted Strings)
N.C.
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
N.C.
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
N.C.
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
N.C.
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave
Chorus
[G] [D] [Em]
Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
[B] [G] [D]
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em o-o-oh
[Am] [C]
They won't let go
[Em]
Ex's and oh's
Verse 2
[Em]
I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
[Em]
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring
[B7] [Em]
My, my, how the seasons go by
[Em]
I get high, and I love to get low
[Em]
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
[B7] [Em]
You know that's how the story goes
Pre-Chorus
(Muted Strings)
N.C.
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
N.C.
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave
