CHORUS: "...and then she fucked me..."
(It's pretty basic strumming so I'm just going to tab out the chords.
You can figure out their durations, I promise!)

On the 4& upstroke all the strings open and then push on the back of the
headstock to bend the entire neck. Or if you have a floating bridge I guess
you could do it that way too but floating bridges are kind of for pussies.
CHORUS

Then play the CHORUS but cut out the last bit (F A Ab(dim))
This next part is the gay part because you play F A G six whole times.
"...you're only doing this because you're lonely..."

Oh, she's gifted, she sucked the marrow from his bones
but she got the worst of him.
Oh, born cryptic, each word casts subtleties aside
till they're naked in the cold, alone.
The telephone rings endlessly,
And desperately she calls for him to come alone
Pick up the phone it's four twenty-three in the morning,
Do you think she might just be drunk enough to care?
They came to his room just to suture the laceration
But the only lonely bone still broken stole their concentration
They said: for learning the end he's aging elegantly, endlessly ashamed.
She smiled her way through her timid introduction
And the way she made him wait would only aid in the seduction,
She said: a kiss is a kiss despite the endless list of shit you can't explain
And this is where we should have stayed, but how could I have known?
And then she fucked me then she told me that she loved me,
And so I told her to shut her stupid mouth
And then I came too quickly cause I believe in love
But babe if this is it I'd rather sleep alone.
You're only doing this because you're lonely,
Baby, you're only doing this because you're lonely,
But you don't deserve me.
She came to his home after cut communications
All alone the only soulless whore to wreck the celebration.
She said: I couldn't care less about the way he cares just take me where you can
His chest would collapse beneath a wave of realization
and the way he laid awake would barely shake her deep foundation
He said: a fuck is a fuck and you were in my house with him,
Six years bitch, and you still play these fucking games?
And then you told me that you loved me,
and so I told her to shut her stupid mouth
and then I came too quickly cause I believe in love
but babe if this is it I'd rather sleep alone
You're only doing this because you're lonely,
Baby, you're only doing this because you're lonely
Oh, she's gifted she sucked the marrow from my bones
Oh, you should have seen her, unclothed and unfulfilled alone
She's begging, bring me to tears. Watch what you say!
Her fingernails across my back, tearing me apart.
And this is where we should have stayed . By now I should have known
But then she fucked me then she told me that she loved me,
and so I told her to shut her stupid mouth
and then I came too quickly cause I believe in love
but babe if this is it I'd rather sleep alone
You're only doing this because you're lonely
And then she fucked me then she told me that she loved me,
and so I told her to shut her stupid mouth
and then I came too quickly cause I believe in love
but babe if this is it I'd rather sleep alone
You're only doing this because you're lonely, because you're lonely
Cause I believe in love but babe if this is it I'd rather sleep alone
You're only doing this because you're such a fucking bitch
I swear that someday you'll see you don't deserve me
Listen close, bitch, keep your distance,
Leave me the fuck alone!
