Poor Little Rich Boy- Regina Spektor

Intro: G (for 4 measures)
                                   
Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone
                                          
You wish that they hadn’t, you don’t wanna be alone
                                           
But they wanna kiss, and they got homes of their own
                                                   
Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone, have gone, have gone

                      
And you don’t love your girlfriend
                  
You don’t love your girlfriend
                                                  
And you think that you should but she thinks that she’s fat
                                   
But she isn’t but you don’t love her anyway

                     
And you don’t love your mother
                      
And you know that you should
                   
And you think that you should
             
But you don’t anyway

                                  
Poor little rich boy, all the world is okay
                                            
The water runs off your skin and down into the drain
                                           
You’re reading Fitzgerald, you’re reading Hemingway
                                            
They’re both super-smart and drinking in  the café


                      
And you don’t love your girlfriend
                  
You don’t love your girlfriend
                                                  
And you think that you should but she thinks that she’s fat
                                   
But she isn’t but you don’t love her anyway


                     
And you don’t love your mother
                  
You know that you should
                  
And you wish that you would
             
But you don’t anyway

(fast)
                          
You’re so young, you’re so goddamn young
                               
You’re so young, you’re so goddamn young
                        
You’re so young, you’re so goddamn young
                                       
You’re so goddamn young, you’re so goddamn young
                          
You’re so young, you’re so goddamn young

(slowing down)
                               
You’re so young, you’re so goddamn young

(slow)
                                  
You’re so goddamn young, you’re so goddamn young
                                       
You’re so goddamn young, you’re so goddamn young

                          
And you don’t love your girl-friend
                          
And you don’t love your girl-friend
                          
And you don’t love your girl-friend
                          
And you don’t love your girl-friend
