Biography:
Bettie Serveert is a Dutch indie-rock band, founded in 1991 in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Their name, which translates to "Bettie serves," is taken from a series of tennis instructional books by Dutch tennis player Betty Stove, who lost the Wimbledon Ladies singles final in 1977.

[Verse]
Am G
I picked you out
F E
Of a crowd and talked to you
Am G
Said I liked your shoes
F Em
You said "Thanks can I follow you?"
Am G
Now it's up the stairs
F Em
And out of view, no prying eyes
Am G
I poured some wine
F
When I asked your name,
E
You asked the time
[Verse]
Am G
Now it's 2 o'clock
F E
The club is closed We're up the block
Am G
Your hands on me,
F E
Pressing hard against your jeans
Am G
Your tongue in my mouth
F E
Tryin to keep the words from comin out
Am G
You didn't care to know
F E
Who else may have been here before
[Chorus]
Am G
I want a lover I don't have to love
F Em
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Am G
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
F
I thought I'd meet him here
E
But I'm not sure
Am G
I got the money if you got the time
F
You said it feels good
E
I said, "I'll give it a try"
[Verse]
Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
So let's take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors, with bad habits
Some sad singers
They just play tragic
And the phone's ringin'
And the band's leavin'
Let's just keep touching
Let's just, keep on singing
[Chorus]
Am G
I want a lover I don't have to love
F Em
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Am G
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
F
I thought I'd meet him here
E
But I'm not sure
Am G
I got the money if you got the time
F
You said it feels good
E
I said, "I'll give it a try"
[Outro]
C F
You write such pretty words
C F
But life's no story book
C F
Love's an excuse to get hurt
E
And to hurt
E
Do you like to hurt?
E
I do, I do
E
Then hurt me
E
Then hurt me
Am G F E
Am
Didn't hurt me
G
It didn't hurt me
F
It didn't hurt me
E
It didn't hurt me
Am
It didn't hurt me
