[Em] [E] [F#] [B] [F#]
[D] [E] [F#] [A] [E]
[A] [E]
I know [Em] she's a jacker, [A] in a star [E] with a bad habit.
I may say [Em] she's a chooser,
[A] but I can't [E] feel refusal.
[A] Well it's just that I'm a hater, can't do the good stuff.
[E] [B] And it's [D] hard when I'm [E] not feeling it.
[B] I feel like [D] she's got him [E] by the knee, [B] just [D] before [E] I see him.
[F#] I mean, can't you see?
[D]
[E] [A] [E] She's [A] [E]
got [Em] him, but [A] she's never [E] gonna do the good stuff.
And now she's taken [Em] from the bitter cold, [A] I'm trying to get [E] her to give up.
[A] She was just here, I knew her, and she can't be that [G] cold.
[E] [B] And as [D] I find [E] I'm near, I [B] feel him laying [D] down in my [E] ear.
[B] But doesn't [D] it worry [E] me, [F#] she's missing.
[G#] It's long gone, with [C#m] time, we'll be home.
[A] And I'm told it ain't [B] fast, I know they can't follow.
[C#]
I'm [E] [F#m] better off, [A] [E]
[F#m] [A]
[E] I'm better off.
I'm better off,
[D]
[E] I'm better off.
[A] [E]
She's gone to [Em] bed to sleep,
[A] and I'm gonna get [E] free.
But I'm like a vibrant [Em] child,
[A] with my [E] eyes in the dark.
[A] She was just there, somewhere, and getting right here, right [G] now.
[E] [B] And as I [D] find [E] I'm near, I [B] feel [D] him laying down [E] in my ear.
But [B] doesn't [D] it [E] worry
[F#] me, she's missing.
