After school, walking home

Cars screech to a halt to let me pass

Worth all of the pain that I have gone through

And Mama, I've been cryin'
Am7 Am7 
 
G G 
 
'Cause things ain't how they used to be
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 
 
She said, "The battle's almost won

E7 E7 
 
And we're only     several miles from the sun"

Bridge 1
Am7 Am7 
 
The rhythm of her conversation
E7/D E7/D 
 
The perfection of her creation
Am7 Am7 
 
The sex she slipped into my coffee
E7/D E7/D 
 
The way she felt when she first saw me
Am7 Am7 
 
Hate to love and love to hate her
E7 E7 
 
Like a broken record player
Am7 Am7 
 
Back and forth and here and gone
E7 E7 
 
And on, and on, and on, and on
