The Magnetic Fields – I Thought You Were My Boyfriend (Guitar)

    Bm          D
You told me you loved me.

A                E
I know where and when.

D                A
Come sunrise, surprise surprise,

    Bm            E
the joke's on me again.

Bm               D
I know you don't love me.

A                E
You know I don't care.

D              A
Keep it hidden better. Did I

Bm                E
say the world was fair?

Bm              D                A
I thought I was just the guy for you

                   E
and it would never end.

Bm                   D                A
I thought we were supposed to be like glue.

                         E
I thought you were my boyfriend, I thought you were my boyfriend.

Bm                D              A
Love or not, I've always got ten guys 

                E
on whom I can depend,

Bm                          D                 A
and if you're not mine, one less is nine; get wise.

                         E
I thought you were my boyfriend, I thought you were my boyfriend.

Bm                 D
I just hope you're happy

A            E
stringing me along.

D                       A
While you're stringing, I'm here singing

Bm               E
this, my saddest song.

Bm             D
I wish I could see you.

A              E
I wish I could sleep.

D                   A
Should I freak out? Should I seek out

Bm              E
someone I could keep?

Bm              D                A
I thought I was just the guy for you

                   E
and it would never end.

Bm                   D                A

                         E
I thought you were my boyfriend, I thought you were my boyfriend.

                         E
I thought you were my boyfriend, I thought you were my boyfriend.

  Bm
I wanted you tonight.

  A
I walked around a lot,

G                Em              G         Bm
wishing you were here to keep me from sleeping

Bm
with anyone who might

     A
want me, or even not.

G                Em                  G  Bm        A         G     F#
Some guys have a beer and they'll do anything, anything, anything

Bm              D                A
I thought I was just the guy for you

                   E

I thought you were my boyfriend, I thought you were my boyfriend.
