Verse 1
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
Lent you outsiders
[Dm]
and my new Badu
[Bb7+] [Am7] [A7]
While you were thinking
[Dm]
I didn't have a clue
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
Tough to sort files
[Dm]
with your voice in my head
[Bb7+] [Am7] [A7]
So then I bribed you downstairs
[Dm]
with a Marlboro Red, uh huh
Pre-chorus 1
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
And now I feel so small discovering you knew
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
How much more torture would you have put me through?
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes, yeah
Chorus
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
With your battered jeans and your Beasties tee
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
Now I can't work like this, with you next to me
Verse 2
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
And although he's nothing
[Dm]
in the scheme of my years
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
It just serves to bludgeon
[Dm]
my futile tears
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
And I'm not use to this, no no,
[Dm]
I observe yeah, I don't chase
[Bb7+] [Am7] [A7]
But now I'm stuck with consequences,
[Dm]
thrust in my face, yeah
Pre-chorus 2
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
And the melodramas of my day delivery blows
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
And that surpass your rejection, it just goes to show
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
A simple attraction that reflects right back to me
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
So I'm not as into you as I appear to be
Chorus
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
With your battered jeans and your Beasties tee
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
Now I can't work like this, with you next to me
Verse 3
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
His message was brutal
[Dm]
but the delivery was kind
[Bb7+] [Am7] [A7]
Maybe if I get this down,
[Dm]
I'll get it off my mind, yeah
[Gm7] [Am7] [A7]
All it serves to condition me
[Dm]
and smoothen my kinks
[Bb7+] [Am7] [A7]
Despite my frustration
[Dm]
for the way that he thinks
Pre-chorus 3
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
Didn't think you'd get my number down as such
[Gm7] [A7] [Dm]
But I never hated myself, for my age so much, yeah
Chorus
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
With your battered jeans and your Beasties tee
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
Now I can't work like this, with you next to me
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
And although my pride is not easy to disturb, yeah
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
With your battered jeans and your Beasties tee
[Fm7] [Eb7+] [Gdim] [G7] [Cm7]
Now I can't work like this, with you next to me
