_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] I met him in a club hanging [D] out one night.
He said,
Hello, I'm George.
Hi, [B] how's everything [G] going?
Huh?
How you [Bm] doing?
Hope everything's [Em] fine.
Ooh, and [C] can I call you sometime?
[D] Can I get the digits and the address so I can come [B] visit?
I gave him the [G] digits.
That wasn't a [Bm] problem.
If it'd be [Em] cost any, I would have to [C] stop him.
Cause George looks good.
[B] He's being damn good.
And if I'd been, some other girl would.
In my [G] mind, I hope for the [Bm] best.
Convince [Em] myself that [C] this was not a test.
Cause I heard many [Am] things about [D] George.
Nothing kinky like no [E] orgy.
I heard [G] he knows how to make a [Bm] love.
Like an [Em] angel from the heaven [C] above.
Who was I kidding?
I'd [D] give him a try.
Cause like me, bluff too, and that ain't no [B] lie.
Keep your ears [G] open.
Hope that you're [F#] listening.
Cause I'm about to [Em] take you on a Georgie Portie mission.
Mission.

[C] I gave him the number I [A] saw it in his [D] eyes.
She gave me the number?
Hmm, I'm [D] surprised.
Good [G] conversation over the [Bm] phone.
He began [Em] to comfort me [C] whenever I was alone.
George was sweet, so [D] nice and so neat.
With any other guy, he didn't have to [B] compete.
George was [G] mature.
He made [Bm] sure that he was the [Em] only man [C] I'd ever adore.
Girl, have you [D] ever had a friend that you get with?
Every now [B] and then?
I know for a [G] fact George had a lot of [Bm] girls.
Spread out [Em] from state to [C] state, around the world.
As long as he was smart and kept his [B] girls in check.
Made sure I never swore to him and showed me respect.
He didn't have to be [G] loyal like men [D] should be.
I don't care about the [C] other girls.
Just be good to me.
But if I ever [Am] saw one, that would be [C] the end.
He couldn't kick the storyline that she was just a friend.
The girls I didn't care if I ain't no [Bm] lie.
Because George, he was [D] used to making [Em] young girls cry.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ It's [E] good.
_ [F#] It's [C] good.
_ [Bm] It's [F] good.
_ George was clean, no drugs and such.
But once in a while, he'd drink too much.
Hanging in the club where they played rockers.
Him and his friend drinking vodka.
I was looking for him and I [D] found him there.
With his clothes messing up and his hair.
[B] I told him he was [G] messing up, he wouldn't go [Bm] for it.
He got mad and asked [Em] his friend for it.
The keys to the [C] car.
I said, don't drive.
[D] Use your head.
Drive while you're drunk and you'll kill yourself [E] dead.
We forget [G] to argue, bad words were [Bm] said.
Then he got [Em] kicked out by [N] some long hair dread.
Ran into the car as if in a hurry.
He started the car, but his [C#] vision was blurry.
He didn't care, he drove off into the [C] night.
Riding for miles without his headlight.
George, he thought he had too [D] much on his mind.
He was still young yet running out of [B] time.
Last week he [G] did tests and the doctor [Bm] told him.
George had [Em] cancer in his lungs that is swollen.
Then when he was drunk, [Am] he started [D] smoking.
Paid no attention when he started [B] shaking.
Thoughts [Em] flashed through his head, said they stopped.
The George [C] report, he crashed into a truck.
I wish I would have told him I [A] liked him so [D] much.
How he made me feel with the slightest [E] touch.
Now he's [Bm] gone and I can't tell him [Bm] nothing.
Wish he was [Em] here so [C] I could say something.
Worry is not to [D] say that I'm in sorrow.
Just to say no one is promised [D] tomorrow.
If you love [G] someone, you should say it [Bm] often.
You'll never know [Em] when they'll be [C] laying in a floor.
So say it often, wake up.
It's [D] important that you know that no one on earth
is promised [B] tomorrow.
_ [G] _ [Bm] Believe that, but [Em] don't think that it can't happen to you.
[Am] _ _ [Bm] Just [C] forget and make them [Em] cry.
_ [Am] _ _ [G] Just [E] forget and make [C] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Em] them [Bm] cry.
_ [Em] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _
_ [Gm] Just forget and make them cry. _ _ _
_ Just forget and make them [F] cry. _ _
