A E Bm D
We made up on the couch on the floor,
A E Bm D
But you told me I needed to lose
A E Bm D
A few pounds on the body I loved,
A E Bm D
I went to work and I talked with a man I grew up with.
Chorus: (Distortion in strumming)
He said,
A E F#m E D
"Oh, a sad sight you are, you are slowly unraveling me.
A E F#m E D
Oh, no tears on a Tuesday you need better than what he can give you.
F#m E D
Better than what he can give you."

Verse 2
A E Bm D
He held me tight for longer than normal,
A E Bm D
I cuddled close, I couldn't believe it.
A E Bm D
He whispered words in my ear it was nice,
A E Bm D
But it wasn't the same when he called me the wrong name.
A E Bm D
I ran off down the street down the corner,
A E Bm D
And he caught me in his arms.
A E Bm D
And once again he delivered a comfort,
A E Bm D
A need I had known ever since I was young.

specially in the interlude part. Please forgive me for that … Anyway, this is my first
ever tab so forgive me if I’m wrong… . Hope you enjoy playing. Hear the song to
better know where to play the lead parts. You can ask me questions (dlam_102@yahoo.com.ph)
