As recorded by Everclear (From the 2000 Album SONGS FROM AN AMERICAN MOVIE, VOLUME 1: LEARNING HOW TO SMILE) [Intro] N.C. Hi this is Peggy, leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya! Hey Peggy, it's me You are never going to believe what happened to me today
G C
  I'm sitting at the unemployment office

              G C
Waiting on my loser of a case worker

C
In one of those nasty chairs

C
When from out of nowhere

           G C
This total stranger walks right up to me, sits down

                                   G C
Then leans over and says something like

C
"This is going to sound a little obsessive...."
[Verse 1]
G                C
This is going to sound a little obsessive

                                    G
This is going to sound a little bit strange

       C
I have one thing to say

C
Before I turn and I walk away

G                C
This is going to sound a little impulsive

                                  G
This is going to sound a little insane

           C
I know you don't know me yet

C
But you and I

C
We will be together

    A
Someday

A
Someday

A
I know ... I know ... I sound like I'm on drugs

                 G
But listen to me when I say...
[Chorus]
                C
That ever since I first saw you

                       G              C
Sitting on your car outside you asked for a cigarette

C
I couldn't stop staring at your eyes

G          C
Ever since when I first saw you

                              G
Looking bored in that plastic chair

                C
With the lights of the office around you

Em
Those blonde streaks

C                   G             A
They look so pretty in your black hair

A
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare

                                        G
Yeah, You want people to think that you just don't care

                     D G         D                 G
Hey, you can be with me 'cause I just might be the one

         D                     C
Who will treat you like you're perfect

                         G
Who will always make you cum
[Chorus]
             D
Hey, you can be with me

G      D              G
I will always let you win

       D                   C
I will never be like those other guys

                         D      G
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
[Bridge]
G
Can you believe he said that to me?!?

G
To me, of all people!

C
I can't even remember the last time when a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it
[Verse 2]
G                        C
This is going to sound a little bit out there

G                             C
Yeah this is going to sound a little insane

G                     C
But I keep having the same dream

G                            A
You will be the mother of my children someday

A
Someday...
[Bridge]
A
I've heard you sleep with that obnoxoius guy

A
I know he is in that famous band

A
You look so sad when you are with him

A
Yes, I never see him reach to hold your hand

G                              D                G
You can be with me, yes I will treat you like a queen

       D               C
I will go to all those chick flick movies

C
That I really don't want to see

G       D
You can be with me

G         D             G
No I will never let you down

       D                   C
I will never make out with your girlfriends

       D                G
When I know you're not around

        D         G
You can be with me

     D                   G            D                     C
Yeah I just might be the one who will treat you like you're special

                       G
I will always make you cum
[Chorus]
G
You can be with me

       E              G
I will always let you win

       D                   C
I will never be like those other guys

C
I will never be like those other guys

                                G
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
[Outro]
G
Can you believe this?

C
I mean, can this be for real?!?

                       C                       G
Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away

        C
I mean, WOW

                                                      G
But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kinda cute

     C
In a really intense way, kinda like Perry Farrell

                       G
Intense but sensitive, anyway I told my bitchy sister about it

G
And she just laughed at me, I told her I was really exited about this guy

G
I said this could be the guy
