riff 1
i'm the kind of guy that likes to talk
i'm the kind of guy hates to be frozen out
i can't stand it when i get this way
total mental shutdown
riff 2 A7 C
& i choke up like a chump
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C
words in my throat just become a senseless lump
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7
my heart's not in it 'cause it's just a pump
riff 1
body lying out on the pavement
eyes out of focus on the dirty street
standing right here is the person
i've been waiting for months to meet
riff 2 A7 C
& i just drop my eyes down like two rocks
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C
i hear my name, my circulation stops
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7
i peer up at her like i'm looking at a cop

i'm the kind of dog that likes to sit in your lap
i back away, about an inch tall
that's my special situation
riff 2 A7 C
now if i think about her at all i become a raw nerve
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C
whole throat gets dry & vision blurred
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7 C
thoughts in my head fall down like dead birds
/B /A Eb/G D/F# A7
i don't know what kind if any purpose i might serve
