D Bm
He was in the habit of taking things for granted
D Bm
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
Em G D

(D) Bm
Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
D Bm
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
Em G
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
(D)
You owe me an IOU
Em G
Don't think that I'll forget
D
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
(D)
You owe me an IOU
Em G
Don't think that I'll forget
Em G A
I know what I should get this time
D Bm
She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
D Bm
Makeup, eaten up by crocodile tears
Em G D
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
(D) Bm
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
D Bm
She couldn't seem to make up her mind

(G) Em D
What's our deal? I don't know
F# G Gm
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is

If it is, then this might just work
D Bm
They were in the habit of taking things for granted
D Bm
