Dm                G                 C               G/B              Am7*(x2)
The first time that I met her I was throwing up in the ladies room stall

Dm                    G        C                G/B                Am7
She asked me if I needed anything  I said I think I spilled my drink

                 G                              Am7*(x2)
And that's how it started or so I'd like to believe




Dm                   G                 C                  G/B              Am7*(x2)
She took me to her mother's house outside of town where the stars hang down

Dm                G                C              G/B                 Am7
She said she'd never seen someone so lost, I said I'd never felt so found 

                 G                           D                                  Am7*(x2)
and then I kissed her on the cheek and so she kissed me on the mouth whoa whoa whoa




Dm                    G                 C                G/B               Am7*(x2)
The spring was popping daises up round rusted trunks and busted lawn chairs

Dm             G             C               G/B             Am7
We moved into a studio in Council Bluffs to save a couple bucks

         G                                                    Am7*(x2)
Where the mice came out at night, neighbors were screaming all the time




Dm                       G           C               G/B        Am7*(x2)
We'd make love in the afternoons to Chelsea Girls and Bachelor Number 2

Dm                       G                C                  G/B                  Am7
I'd play for her some songs I wrote, she'd joke and say I'm shooting through the roof

          G                                            Am7*(x2)
I'd say they're all for you dear  I'll write the Album of the Year.




Dm                             G
And I know she loved me then, I swear to God she did


C                            G/B                     Am7                 
It was the way she'd bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips 


       Dm            G/B             Am7*(x4)  
and dig her nails so deep into my skin. 



(Mute Strings) Fast Strum
                                                                    Am7
The first time that I met her I was convinced I had finally found the one

(Mute Strings) Fast Strum
                                                                       Am7
She was convinced I was under the influence of all those drunken romantics

            G                                Am7*(x2)
I was reading Fante at the time  I had Bukowski on the mind





Dm              G               C              G/B          Am7*(x2)
She got a job at Jacobs serving cocktails to the local drunks

Dm               G                  C              G/B             Am7
Against her will I fit the bill I perched down at the end of the bar

                 G                                               Am*(x2)
She said,  Space is not just a place for stars  I gave you an inch 


you want a house with a yard




  Dm                                      G
But I know she loved me once, but those days are done


C                     G/B                     Am7           
She used to call me everyday from a pay phone on her break for lunch
        
 Dm                  G                C
just to say she can't wait to come home 


   G/B                     Am7           F
Ohhhh Ohhhh        To come home       Ohhhh Ohhhhh

        C           G/B               Am7*(x4)
to come hooooooooome              come home



Dm                G                 C                  G/B               Am7*(x2)
The last time that I saw her she was picking through which records were hers

Dm                             G           C                 G/B                 Am7
Her clothes were packed in boxes, with some pots and pans and books and a toaster

            G
Just then a mouse scurried across the floor



   C                                      G
we just started laughing til it didn't hurt

  Am7                               F
just started laughing til it didn't hurt

  C                                     G
just started laughing til it didn't hurt

  Am7                               F     end on  C
just started laughing 'til it didn't hurt
