Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Never thought that I could feel such a slap in the face

 Since my semester in New York where I drank it away

 Social strategies are taught to Bohemian crowds

 And my love was like a food stamp handing it out

 Oh, though I fell in love with you, all fey and grizzled and mature

 You left me naked, pining, whining on your bathroom floor

 If it makes you jealous, tell us just which boy we should adore

 Only talk about myself, so I don't mind that he's a bore

 He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do

 He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do

 He'll have to do

 Mountain man, brag about your band to me

 You got me hot with all those snide remarks about my poetry

 But he gobbles up every single line about the stars

 And how they scar my slightly chubby arms like brightly lit cigars

 So now he's next to me but I can feel you in my heart

 You're everything, you're everything he'll never be

 It's misery and more specifically, I miss that day you spit on me

 He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do

 He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do

 He'll have to do

 He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do

 He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do

 He'll have to do

He's got no inkling of your status or mind

He's just the glue that I splatter to bind

You and I like Siamese twins

So let this sick sad game begin

Now you're here again and he will wonder where I've been

 I'm giving in but in my own opinion, it's how to be

 Though I can hear him singing

 All this envy's killing me, it's killing me

 He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do

 He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do

 He'll have to do

(Through this next chorus a second voice sings "and every time I see your face I die

inside" extended through each line, listen to the song to hear how this goes)

 He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do

 He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do

 He'll have to do
