[Verse]
E G#m
This has got to die, this has got to stop
F#m Am
This has got to lie down, with someone else on top
E G#m
You can keep me pinned, it’s easier to tease
F#m Am
But you can't paint an elephant quite as good as she
[Chorus]
E C#m F#m Am
And she may cry_____ like a baby. And she may dri____ve me cra____zy
E A F#m B
Cause I____ am lately… Lo____nely
[Verse]
E G#m
So why’d you have to lie? I take it I'm your crotch
F#m Am
The pillow in your pillow case is easier to touch
E G#m
And then you think you've sinned, as you fall upon your knees
F#m Am
Living in your picture, still forget the breeze
[Chorus]
E C#m
And she may rise if I sing you down
F#m Am
And she may wisely cling to the ground
E A F#m B
Cause I_____ am lately ho_____rny
E A F#m B
So why___ would she take me ho____rny?
[Middle 8]
F#m Am
What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
F#m B
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
F#m B
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you I could be strong
C#m / / / / / B
Tell me if you want me to lie
[Verse]
E G#m
'Cause this has got to die, this has got to stop
F#m Am
This has got to lie down, down with someone else on top
E G#m
You can both keep me pinned, ‘cause it's easier to tease
F#m Am
But you can't make me happy quite as good as me
Well you know that’s a lie
