BbF I'm trying to be tender. I'm trying to be cool. EbBb I laugh at my own jokes. I laugh like a fool. Cm There ain't no doubt about it. GmAbAbGGbF He's in with his life-long girl
GmD What chance do I have? A cat's chance in hell. GmGmGm I better take it
GmC DCGm GmD I'm going to write him a letter, gonna put it in words. EbC Gonna make it official. Gonna make it absurd. Bb Hold up then, there a second, girl. EbDD7 You'll spoil what you have to do
