INTRO:
A
VERSE 1:
A
I've written you thirty-seven letters,
F#m
none of which I'll ever send
A
But I'll write them and re-read them,
F#m
over and over again
Bm
I have sixteen that say I love you,
E
sixteen that wish you death
A E
And drunken Bukowski ramblings in the
D A
five that I have left
VERSE 2:
A
To whom it may concern,
F#m
I will not call you on the phone
A
At 3:30 in the morning
F#m
when the loneliness hits home
Bm
If Virginia is for lovers,
E
Clinton Avenue's for fools
A E
And November just can't help itself
D A
from reminding me of you

D
Easy to see,
Dm
oh stupid me

Has got it bad for a skinny legged girl

Got it bad for a skinny-legged girl

It goes ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
A E D
Ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
D Dm A

VERSE 3:
A
With your paintings, books and pictures
F#m
in a box under my bed
A
I should throw them all away,
F#m
but I will keep them here instead
Bm
As a reminder of the damage
E
a black-rimmed glasses girl can do
A E
Well I am walking, sulking, living, breathing,
D A
singing, living proof
CHORUS:
D
Easy to see,
Dm
oh stupid me
A E D
Has got it bad for a skinny legged girl
A E D
Got it bad for a skinny-legged girl
A E D
It goes ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
A E D
Ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
D Dm A

VERSE 4:
A
Well like any true romantic,
F#m
I destroy the things I love
A
And this role of the victim,
F#m
well it fits me like a glove
Bm
But every victim needs a villain,
E
and mine looks a lot like you
A E
Sincerely and yours truly
D A
I sign number forty-two
CHORUS:
D
Easy to see,
Dm
oh stupid me
A E D
Has got it bad for a skinny legged girl
A E D
Got it bad for a skinny-legged girl
A E D
It goes ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
A E D
Ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
D Dm A
