La la la lala  la la la lala

A5  F5  C5  G5  x 2  puis  F5 (P.M.) <  G5C5! G5C5! G5

a  f  c  g  x 2  (fin: /G5G5 G5G5\)

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert              /G5G5 G5G5\

Now I know, I'm being used                        w/ bruits guit
That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse
I know, she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I got no self esteem

  Oh yeah, yeah eah eah  x 4                      (à fond)

We make plans, to go out at night                 (basse)
I wait 'til 2, then I turn out the light
This rejection's, got me so low                   w/ guit xxxxx
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

  Oh yeah, yeah eah eah  x 4 

    D5            B♭5     F5           C5
       When she's saying, all that she wants only me
    Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends                xxxxxx
    When she's saying, all that I'm like a disease
    Then I wonder how much more I can spend

    Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
    But I really think it's better this way 
    D5           B♭5     C5             G5               F5 (P.M.) <
    The more you suffer,    the more it shows you really care
           G5C5! G5C5! G5
    Right? Yeah eah eah

a  f  c  g  x 2  (fin: /G5G5 G5G5\)

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score

Now I know, I should say "No", but
That's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

  Oh yeah, yeah eah eah  x 4

A5A5!
