F C G/B F
Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,
C C7/Bb F/A F C C7/Bb F/A
What good does it bring, this is the life that he cho-o-ose…
I don’t get happy people, why do they care?
They cant be happy all the time, they’re really just not there
And they’re all loved up on some drug and I
hope that it’s not love because I like ’em messed up and not really
there.
And I like them them roughed up, a little fucked up, if it can be
arranged,
As high as a kite and is willing to fight as a man of his age.
God I could fall for a man, who can sing about love and depression among
other things,
A man who sings about romance
Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,
What good does it bring, this is the life that he cho-o-ose…
A man who sings about romance
Woman he hardly knows kno-ows,
What good does it bring, this is the life that he chose-o-ose…
These people, are my people, watch how we roll
don’t mess ‘em up, they’re young, life’s only just begun
And for the record we were messed up, on our own
He takes the fakes and puts them in their place
And he swiftly moves along
And he’s known around
He’s passed his break of social season hearts
Yeah I’ve spoke and yeah we get along
Man I could fall for a man, who sings about, love and depression among
other things,
And a man who sings about romance
Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,
What good does it bring, this is the woman he cho-o-ose…
