G Cadd9
She's a bad actress
G Cadd9 G
But hey
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You give her the big lines anyway
A7sus4 G/B G
Though her eyes are big as Canada
A7sus4 G/B G
And her hips are South Australia
A7sus4 G/B G
And the shoulder blade is Africa
A7sus4 G/B G
Looking out on South America
A7sus4 G/B G
Im out here on the sea
A7sus4 G/B G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And here heart ain't where it ought to be
She's a bad actress
But hey
She's got a big part in your play
Now my apartment lies awake at night
It tosses everytime she sighs
Tries to make it easy on her eyes
But I can feel it giving up the fight
My whole buildings on it's last floors
Her hearts not in it anymore
C C/B Am7
Ooh.........
C C/B Am7 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Ooh.............................
She said she gave her heart to you
If it was precious why'd you lose it?
But if it was golden, it'd shine
If it's big it won't be hard to find
If it's real, it stains your hand like wine
You can look but there is no use in trying
Cause no matter what she said, the truth
Is that she never gave her hear to you
