Verse 1

 
F#m B
I want you to know that I’m happy for you
A E
I wish nothing but the best for you both
F#m
An older version of me
B
Is she perverted like me?
A E
Would she go down on you in a theater?
F#m
Does she speak eloquently?
B
And would she have your baby?
A E
I’m sure she’d make a really excellent mother
 

Chorus

 
F#m B
‘Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able
A E
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
F#m B
And every time you speak her name
A E
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died, ’til you died
F#m
But you’re still alive
 

Verse 2

 
F#m
And I’m here to remind you
B
Of the mess you left when you went away
A
It’s not fair to deny me
E
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
F#m
You, you, you oughta know
 

Chorus

 
F#m B
‘Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able
A E
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died, ’til you died
