Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

arpeggiated)

 Well my kind's been around forever

 And I claim to be one of the few

 And the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves

 Cus I'm gay as a choir boy for you

 You got hair that recalls me of rivers

 Runs softly while you dream of you

 But your heart is so cold that it shivers

 Cus all that I know is I'm nothin to you

Verse 2

Same as Verse 1, strummed)

And I followed you into the party

And no one invited me to

But alone I made love to my forty

And played make beleive it was you

But I watched you forget your belongings

And belongings you've got quite a few

I filled up your bags with my longings

And searched through this whole wide city for you

Verse 3

Same as Verse 1, arpeggiated)

And we'll walk 'neath the street lamps forever

You'll say 'you remind me of you'

It's so d#mn cliche that it's clever

It's so f#ckin' false, you think that it's true

Cus I heard that you forgot you were lover

And lovers you've got one or two

But you can't tell one from the other

Now momma, now your nothing to you
