                E                    G#m
This has got to die, this has got to stop

                F#m                            Am
This has got to lie down, with someone else on top

        E                              G#m
You can keep me pinned, it's easier to tease

                       F#m                       Am
But you can't paint an elephant quite as good as she
[Chorus]
            E               C#m                F#m          Am
And she may cry_____ like a baby. And she may dri____ve me cra____zy

       E        A       F#m   B
'Cause I____ am lately… Lo____nely
[Verse 2]
                E                            G#m
So why'd you have to lie? I take it I'm your crutch

                    F#m                     Am
The pillow in your pillow case is easier to touch

                            E                            G#m
And when you think you've sinned, do you fall upon your knees?

                         F#m                              Am
Or d'you sit within your picture, do you still forget the breeze?
[Chorus]
             E        C#m
And she may rise if I sing you down

            F#m    Am
And she may wisely cling to the ground

       E          A     F#m    B
'Cause I_____ am lately ho_____rny

   E                A       F#m   B
So why___ would she take me ho____rny?
[Middle 8]
F#m                         Am
   What's the point of this song? Or even singing?

F#m               B
   You've already gone, why am I clinging?

F#m                                      B
   Well, I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you, I could be strong
C#m  /  /  /   /    /     B
Tell me if you want me to lie
[Verse 3]
                E                           G#m
'Cause this has got to die, this has got to stop

                F#m                                 Am
This has got to lie down, down with someone else on top

             E                                      G#m
You can both keep me pinned, 'cause it's easier to tease

                      F#m                    Am
But you can't make me happy quite as good as me
Well, you know that's a lie
