Intro: D#mF#B x3
Verse:
D#mF#
My friend Sallyʼs getting married
B
And to me that sounds so scary
D#mF#B
Iʼm still tryinʼ to clean up my side of the street
D#mF#
I canʼt imagine what would happen
BG#m
ʼCause Iʼm still acting out of habit
D#mF#B
Hoping dirty words just donʼt escape my teeth
Pre-chorus:
G#m
Oh, but every time I try just a little
B
Promise that Iʼll meet in the middle
G#mB
Always find my way back to my feet
Chorus:
F#B
So close the door and change the channel
G#mB
Give me something I can handle
F#BG#mB
A good lover or someone thatʼs nice to me...
F#B
Take my money, wreck my Sundays
G#mB
Love me ʼtil your next somebody
G#mB
Oh, but promise me that when itʼs time to leave.
D#mF#B
Donʼt forget me...
D#mF#B
Donʼt forget me...
Verse:
D#mF#
My friend Mollyʼs got a guy, she
B
Swears to God could be her family
D#mF#B
Says heʼs got the greenest eyes youʼve ever seen
D#mF#
But itʼs crazy all the days she spends
BG#m
Just following him to parties
D#mF#B
She seems happy, oh, but thatʼs not love to me
Pre-chorus:
G#m
Oh, but every time I try just a little
B
Promise that Iʼll meet in the middle
G#mB
Always find my way back to my feet
Chorus:
F#B
So close the door and change the channel
G#mB
Give me something I can handle

A good lover or someone thatʼs nice to me...

Donʼt forget me...
Bridge:
C#G#mB
And maybe Iʼm dead wrong
C#G#mC#
Maybe I was bitter from the winter all along
G#mB
Maybe thereʼs a stranger standing, holding out for love
G#m
Just waiting on the next street
F#BG#mB
Just for me...
F#BG#m
Oh, just for me...
Chorus:
F#B
So close the door and change the channel
G#mB
Give me something I can handle
F#BG#mB
A good lover or someone thatʼs nice to me...
F#B
Take my money, wreck my Sundays
G#mB
Love me ʼtil your next somebody
G#mB
Oh, but promise me that when itʼs time to leave.
D#mF#B
Donʼt forget me...
D#mF#B
Donʼt forget me...
