(First 2 lines sung with no chords, but chords provided for pitching)
 
[Verse 1]
F#m7                    B
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
F#m7                    B
I wish nothing but the best for you both
 
         F#m7
An older version of me, is she perverted like me?
             B
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
               F#m7
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?
               B
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
           F#m7
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
                                             B
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    F#m7
And every time you speak her name does she know how you told me you'd hold me
      B
until you died? Till you died, but you're still alive
 
 
[Chorus]
        F#        E
And I'm here to remind you
       A                      B
Of the mess you left when you went away
         F#        E
It's not fair to deny me
       A                     B
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
           B  N.C.
You, you, you oughta know
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m7
You seem very well
B7
Things look peaceful
F#m7
I'm not quite as well
  B
I thought you should know
 
           F#m7
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
          B
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
         F#m7
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced,
            B
and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           F#m7
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
                                             B
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    F#m7
And every time you speak her name does she know how you told me you'd hold me
      B
until you died? Till you died, but you're still alive
 
 
[Chorus]
        F#        E
And I'm here to remind you
       A                      B
Of the mess you left when you went away
         F#        E
It's not fair to deny me
       A                     B
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
          B   N.C.
You, you, you oughta know
 
 
[Interlude]
B7sus4    B7
 
B7sus4    B7
Oh...     oh...
B7sus2    B
Oooh..    ahhh
B7        B7
Ohh, ohh, ohh ho, ohh ho, ohh ho
 
 
[Pre-chorus 3]
          F#m7
Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
                                       B
and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
    F#m7
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
           B
I hope you feel it, well can you feel it?
 
 
[Chorus]
          F#        E
Well, I'm here to remind you
       A                      B
Of the mess you left when you went away
         F#        E
It's not fair to deny me
       A                     B
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
           B
You, you, you oughta know
          F#        E
Well, I'm here to remind you
       A                      B
Of the mess you left when you went away
         F#        E
It's not fair to deny me
       A                     B
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
           B  N.C.
You, you, you oughta know

To: tabs4acoustic: You did a great job with this one, so how about "What I Really Want"?

The chords in the bridge don't change when you transpose (down 2, capo 2...easier that way), so here they are: B7sus4 = A7sus4 B7 = A7 B7sus2 = A7sus2 B = A

This is the only correct version I've seen with the F#m7 (rather than F#m then A)
