I only know this song thanks to the very last
episode of "The Shield".
I play with a capo on the 1st fret because
I'm half retarted when it comes to bar chords,
particularly the Bb.
Its sounds pretty damn close to the real thing. Enjoy

When you turned out the light and walked out the door,
I said to myself. What did I come here for?
Did you have a good time, drinking whisky and rhyme
and did you wanna be Bonnie and Clyde.
Verse
Bb F
What goes on in your mind, what goes on in your head.
Gm Eb
Who did you think I would be, Ha, well you got me instead.
Bb
You think there's some connection,
F Gm Eb
That I'm your female reflection, but no.
Bb F
I can be loyal and I can be true
Gm Eb
but that's for somebody else and it will never be you.
Bb
You think were pre-determined,
F F# Gm F# Eb
well babe your learning way to slow.
Bb F Bb F
But it seems such a long time ago....
(Same chords as verse for in-between part)
Bb F
Oh, he can see things you'll never know how to see.
Gm Eb
He's three times the man you'll never know how to be,
Bb
I'll do anythting he wants
F F# Gm F# Eb
and I'll go anywhere he wants me to go.
Bb
And if that isn't love, then I
F F# Gm F# Eb
Guess I'll just never know.
Bb F Bb
Seems such a long time ago...
