Ben Folds – Exhausting Lover (Guitar)

E
I woke up in a truck stop parking lot

E                      A
A girl in a red white and blue halter top was staring

A
Thick glasses like mine

E                                    A
And a low bored monotone vocal fry (I like that)

E
She said, who's the band on the bus? What bus?

E                                    A
That one, nerd, the one that you got off of

A                                E
Oh, probably no one you've heard of

C#m
Don't know what came over me

G#m
As I awkwardly dropped my room key

A
I said I think that's yours

    G            A            Bb           C
And three hours later, I was banging this verse out

E
Oh no, head meet floor

E
I don't wanna do this no more

A
Every kiss is a jam band solo

A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'

D
My mind says no

D             A
My body says hell no

A            E
Let this be over

E                  B   E
Exhausting lover

E
Not sure if she couldn't stop

E
Or if she wouldn't stop

E                            A
As the motel carpet gave me five more raw spots

A
What's that stabbing my back?

A
Ah, that's a wire from her halter top

E
There was an hour where her head kept banging

E
Against the bottom of a table top

A
I saw my life in a split screen

A
But life's just one shot

C#m
What the hell would I tell my girlfriend

G#m
But the thing is she's not my girlfriend anymore

G            A            Bb           C
I traded it all for some third degree carpet burn

E
Oh no, head meet floor

E
I don't wanna do this no more

A
Every kiss is a jam band solo

A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'

D
My mind says no

D             A
My body says hell no

A            E
Let this be over

E                B   E
Exhausting lover

E
Then she handed me a Hot Wheels track

E
I said, girl that's pretty weird

E
Where did you get that?

A
She said never mind that

A
Here nerd, beat my ass in the bath like my dad did

A             E
When I was a bad kid

E
I said, nah what's this

E
Let me up out of the Motel Six

A
And tell me where my pants went

A
That's when I heard the door breaking

A
It wasn't housekeeping

A
It was her boyfriend

C#m
Don't know what came over me

G#m
Out the door in my boxer briefs

A
Some dude live tweeted

      G        A         Bb        C
As I ran half-naked past a Cracker Barrel

E
Oh no, head meet floor

E
I don't wanna do this no more

A
Every kiss is a jam band solo

A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'

D
My mind says no

D             A
My body says hell no

A            E
Let this be over

E                B   E
