Misc Musicals – The Theory Of Relativity - Me And Ricky (Guitar)

   B
I met Ricky senior year in high school

   E                       B
He moved from Seattle that fall

   E
In school I was invisible, but

   B                B7
Ricky changed all that

   B
We started dating, and I'm not overstating

   E                       Em
When I say we were perfectly matched

   E
In the classrooms, and hallways

   B
It was me and Ricky always

   B6
Permanently attached

  B
And it was

  E
Me and Ricky

  B
Every lunch hour

  E                  D#
Holding hands in the Caf

  E
Me and Ricky

  B
Mockin' the teachers

  E                       D#m
You should have heard us laugh

  E
Me and Ricky

  B
Hot and sticky

  E               D#
At the back of the bus

            E                D#
I knew if things got tricky, for me and Ricky

 E       B6        B
We would always have us

  B
Before Ricky, I never had a boyfriend

  E                         B
Guys just never saw me that way

  E
So when Ricky set his eyes on me

  B7
Well, I fell fast and hard (Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah)

  B
If Ricky beckoned, I'd be there in a second

  E                               Em
For him I changed my wardrobe and hair

  E
My friends, they were wary

  B
Found Ricky kind of scary

  B6
But they were jealous, I'd swear

  B
And it was

  E
Me and Ricky

  B
Cutting classes

  E                 D#
Getting high in the john

  E
Me and Ricky

  B
Stuck in detention

  E             D#m
Trying not to let on

  E
Me and Ricky

  D#
Grabbing a quickie

  E                 D#
Round the back of the gym

  E
And there was panting, and frenching

       D#               E
And needs that needed quenching

  E        B6    B
And Jesus, I needed him

B6
  (buildup)

  E                   D#
People told me, that Ricky was bad news (Bad news)

  E                   D#
They said ditch him and run (Run!)

  E                  D#m
Far too often good women throw their lives out to men (I'm nothing without you)

  F                     E
But, Ricky told me that I was who he lived for

  F              E
He said I was the one  (He said I was the one)

  F
And Ricky, he loved me

  E
He said that he loved me

   E           F
So I let him love me

 F#        G
Again and again

   F#       G         G#
And again and again and again

    A
And again!

B  B
(Just like intro)

  B
Ricky left me

  B
In fact he left completely

  E                  B
I woke up one day, he was gone

          E
Took my wallet, my laptop

  B
My jewelry, my phone, and my dreams

  B
To prove that he was here

  B
Ricky left a souvenir

  E                          Em
A little gift that can't be returned

  E
For once I was clever...

  B
Got rid of him forever...

  B6
Lesson painfully learned

  B
And now there's

  E
No more Ricky

  B
No more reminder

  E                  D#
No more life laid to waste

  E
No more Ricky

  B
One simple procedure

  E                    D#m
And now that memory's erased

  E                B
Now I'm picky, with guys I meet like Ricky

  E                  D#
Now I'll make a new start

  E
They can hug me, and squeeze me

  D#                 E
Do everything to please me

  E
Or cut me, and use me

   D#              E
And mentally abuse me

   E
They can think they're connected

   D#
But I'll always be protected

  E                            E7
'Cause They'll never enter my heart

   B6
Ricky left with that part
