This is my first attempt, so please be kind!
Ms. Case is a rather obscure artist that gets some airplay
on Americana radio stations. She has a very "big" voice and
performs in the old-time country and alternative country
genres. I found this song to be particularly haunting and
almost dream-like. So much so, I felt compled to chord it
for any of her guitar-playing fans that might want it. The
instumentals on the CD are by The Sadies and are very
compelling, though not particularly intricate. Lots of
reverb and perhaps a Chorus stomp box. I found it especially
interesting that none of the lines in this song ryhme!
I didn't realize that until I wrote down what I think I
heard ...

[Intro]
Am F Am F G Am Am
[Chorus]
Am F Am F If you knew what I know you wouldn't go to see her. G Am F F And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you.
[Verse 1]
Am F F F You're just another puppet. She's not even keeping score. F F F G And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me co---ld. Am F F F She'll laugh about it with her best friend. But you don't know.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Solo]
F Am F G Am F Am F G Am
[Verse 2]
F F F F She spends her daddy's money and she drives her daddy's car. F F F G And what's crazy is the way you think that's sty---le. Am F F F F And all the while my heart is breaking you're not even on her mind.
[Verse 3]
Am F Am F Cause if you knew what I know then you wouldn't leave me. Am Am Am Am You wouldn't turn away from my love, that's what you said that you believe in. G Am F F I say this as a friend; You'll be the poor boy in the end.
[Outro]
