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
