You come tonight, get so cold and you [C] spit It freezes [G] before it hits the ground
You need a bum ass for a quarter You give [C] a dollar, if he's out tonight
But he [D]
must be truly down And [C] I'm searching all the windows
For a last minute present to prove to you [Am] What I said was real
For [D] something small and frail and plastic, [C] baby
Cause cheap is how [G] I feel
Half moon in the sky tonight [C] Bright enough [G] to come up with an answer
Yeah, to the question why is it that every time I see [C] you
My [G] love grows a little stronger
But your [C] memory leaves my stomach churning
Feeling like a lie [D] about to be revealed
But I [Am]
hold all this to
[C] myself
Cause cheap is [G] how I feel
So now,
[C]
[G] I smell
[C]
[D]

[G]
the smell in here
And it gets to me [C] with the lights
I hate the [G] shadows that they cast
And the sound of clinking bottles
Is the [C] one shot thing I'll always dread
[D] Listen to me from my past
I think I'll [C] find a pair of eyes tonight
To fall into the air
[Am]
Maybe strike a deal
Your [D] body for my soul [C] Face what?
Cause cheap is how [G] I feel
