Intro: A (one strum)
A F#m
Never thought that I could feel such a slap in the face
A F#m
Since my semester in New York where I drank it away
A F#m
Social strategies are taught to Bohemian crowds
A F#m
And my love was like a food stamp handing it out
A
Oh, though I fell in love with you, all fey and grizzled and mature
F#m
You left me naked, pining, whining on your bathroom floor
A
If it makes you jealous, tell us just which boy we should adore
F#m
Only talk about myself, so I don't mind that he's a bore
A F#m D E
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A F#m D
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E A
He'll have to do
A F#m
Mountain man, brag about your band to me
A F#m
You got me hot with all those snide remarks about my poetry
A F#m
But he gobbles up every single line about the stars
A F#m
And how they scar my slightly chubby arms like brightly lit cigars
A F#m A
So now he's next to me but I can feel you in my heart
F#m
You're everything, you're everything he'll never be
A F#m D E
It's misery and more specifically, I miss that day you spit on me
A F#m D E
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A F#m D
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E A
He'll have to do
A F#m D E
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A F#m D
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E A
He'll have to do
A F#m
He's got no inkling of your status or mind
A F#m
He's just the glue that I splatter to bind
A F#m
You and I like Siamese twins
A F#m D
So let this sick sad game begin
A F#m A
Now you're here again and he will wonder where I've been
F#m
I'm giving in but in my own opinion, it's how to be
A
Though I can hear him singing
D E D
All this envy's killing me, it's killing me
A F#m D E
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A F#m D
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E A
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)
A F#m D E
He's a like a less cute version of you but he'll have to do
A F#m D
He's like a Wal-Mart version of you but he'll have to do
E A
He'll have to do
