There is a girl I used to know
She had a hundred ways of hurting you and so
I packed my bags and left her as she watched some tv show
There is a girl I used to know
BRIDGE:
So buy me one more drink before you go
Or lend me a 20 and I'll get drunk on my own
You always find some company, come in to use the phone
Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone
Verses , same as verse 1:
There is a town I used to love
It once contained most eveything I ever did dream of
My baby in the basement as the traffic trawled above
There is a town I used to love
There is a bar I used to know
I still sometimes drop by when I have no place else to go
It's where the kings of comedy, compare their tattered souls
There is a bar I used to know
There is a joke I used to tell
Some guy who gets 3 wishes, ends up wasting them to hell
And in the end in misery, he tells the joke himself
(play the next line as if it is the end of a verse, then repeat normal progression)
There is a guy I used to know
He once had everything that any man could hold
And now he sits here drinking, with a tale that always goes....
There is a girl I used to know
