Verse:
intro x 2
The first time that I met her I was throwing up in the ladies room stall
She asked me if I needed anything; I said, "I think I spilled my drink"
And that's how it started (or so I'd like to believe)...
intro x 2
intro x 2
She took me to her mother's house outside of town where the stars hang down
She said she'd never seen someone so lost, I said I'd never felt so found
and then I kissed her on the cheek... and so she kissed me on the mouth
intro x 2
intro x 2
The spring was poppin' daises up 'round rusted trunks and busted lawn chairs
We moved into a studio in Council Bluffs to save a couple bucks
Where the mice came out at night, neighbors were screaming all the time
intro x 2
intro x 2
We'd make love in the afternoons to Chelsea Girls and Bachelor No. 2
I'd play for her some songs I wrote, she'd joke and say I'm shooting through the roof
I'd say, "They're all for you, dear, I'll write the album of the year."
intro x 2
Chorus:
And I know she loved me then, I swear to God she did
It was the way she'd bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips
and dig her nails so deep into my skin.
intro x 4
Breakdown:
Intro x 2
The first time that I met her I was convinced I had finally found the one
min
She was convinced I was under the influence of all those drunken romantics
I was reading Fante at the the time - I had bukowski on the mind
Intro x 2
Verse:
intro x 2
She got a job at Jacob's serving cocktails to the local drunks
Against her will. I fit the the bill: I perched down at the end of the bar
Gadd9 intro x 2
She Said, "Space is not just a place for stars- I gave you an inch, you want a house with a yard
Chorus:
And I know she loved me once, but those days are done
She used to call me everyday from a pay phone on her break for lunch
just to say she can't wait to come home
Bridge:
C G7 intro x 4
Verse:
intro x 2
The last time that I saw her she was picking through which records were hers
Her clothes were packed in boxes, with some pots and pans and books and a toaster
Just then a mouse scurried across the floor
Outro:
we just started laughing 'til it didn't hurt
we just started laughing 'til it didn't hurt
we just started laughing 'til it didn't hurt
we just started laughing 'til it didn't hurt
