	 G				      C
It's the kinda night that's so cold that your spit

	  G
freezes before it hits the ground.

G						C
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar,

C			     D
'cuz if he's out tonight, he must be truly down.

	C
And I'm searchin' all the windows for a last minute present

		     Am
to prove to you that what I said was real...

    D					   C
For something small and frail and plastic, baby

		     G
Cause cheap is how I feel.

G				C
Half a moon in the sky tonight- not enough

   G
to come up with an answer

						C
to the question why is it that every time I see you

	G
my love grows a little stronger.

	 C
But your memory leaves my stomach turning,

		    D
feeling like a liar about to be revealed...

      Am		C
But I hoard all this to myself,

		     G
Cause cheap is how I feel.
(guitar solo)
G							    C
It's not the smell in here that really gets to me, it's the lights-

	       G
How I hate the shadows that they cast.

G					 C
And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing

		      D
I'll always drag with me from my past.

	     C
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight to fall into

    Am
and maybe strike a deal:

     D		       C
Your body for my soul, face swap,

		     G
Cause cheap is how I feel.
Keep on playing, gang. Brent Wood [email protected]
