[Am] [G]
[C] I lied to you, I [E] never cried [D] for you, I [Am] swear that I tried to, but [G] I had better things to do.
[C] Now you're on the road with [E] your painful load, [Am] and the words I spoke [G] left your big heart broke.
[F] And you refuse [G] to bother, [C] because [E] love is for [Am] the poor.
[G]
[F] [G] Left you knocking [C] outside [E] my front [Am] door.
[G] You
[F] [G] knew what this was, [C] I don't want you [E] [Am] anymore.
[G]
[F] I warned [G] you before,
[F] I warned [G] you before,
[F] but I could [G] have sworn I told you I [C] was me.
[E] [Bm] [G]
[Am] [G] You [C] were a sweet old [E] thing, and I was lonely, so I [Am] let you hold me for [G] a limited time, [D] only [C] you'd see.
You're nothing [E] to me, cause I
[Am] may be [G] a bad, bad seed, [F] and it ain't no [G] use to bother, [C] because
[E] love is for [Am] the poor.
Left [D]
[F] [G] you knocking
[C] outside [E] my [Am] front door.
[Dm]
[F] You [G] knew what this was, [C] I don't want you [E] [Am] anymore.
[G]
[F] I warned [G] you before,
[F] I warned [G]
[F] you before, but I [G] could have sworn I told you I [C] was me.
[E] Dumbed down,
[Am] dumbed down.
[G] [A] I'm just a mean [C] old thing, [E] dumbed down,
[Am] dumbed down.
It [G]
[F] ain't no [G] use to bother, [C] because [E] love is [Am] for the [G] poor.
[F] So cut [G] out your knocking, cause [C] I will never come, [E] I'll [Am] come to the door.
[G]
[F] You [G] knew just what this was, and [C] I don't want [E] you forever.
[Am] [G]
[F] I warned [G] you before, I [F] warned [G] you before, [F] but I could [G] have sworn I told you I [C] was me.
[E] Dumbed down, [D]
[Am] dumbed down.
[G] I'm just a mean [C] old thing, [E] dumbed down, [D]
[Am] dumbed down.
