 you filled the hole that pierced my soul, i promised that i'd find
 someone willing to take a run, round pleasures of my mind
 am i perv? cause every nerv is cravin for your touch
you  make me laugh youre my better half,  though you weigh twice as much
 Strum D a few times here.
350  pounds of love
you  mustve fell  from up above
and  killed the townspeople  below
 (10th muffled)
 you had a crush and you let it show
when  i want  to pleasure you  i need an expedition  crew
with  all those trips  to KFC,  you eat out more than me.
 (Now for this verse go back to picking like the first verse)
 we look just like the number 10
 when you stand next to me
 is it your stare that pulls me in?
 or just gravity
 you mix mayonnaise with your scotch
 youre the perfect spouse
 (Start strumming Em chord here) D (strum once)
 last week we went on a whale watch
 (10th muffled)
 The boat drove to your house.
 Strum the D chord a few times then go to chorus.
350  pounds of pain
when  you exhale  al gore goes insane
whenever we  make out
i  taste jam and sauerkraut
we  went on a sailing  trip you fell  and floated beside  the ship
then  a boat  docked on your pants
 (pick the high e string while keeping the D chord)
 and said "i claim this island in the name of france."
 Alrighty, now heres a note, I'm not sure if these chords are right, but they sound kinda
 what he playes so I'll put 'em on.
then  you did what i feared  you dissapeared
saying  this  was  something new
lyposuction,  breast  reduction
 and what came home  wasnt you
no  no no no it wasnt you it was
120  pounds of hate,
and  you said, "i  look great."
and  when the nurse  removed the fat,  they found the neighbors cat
i  just paused  and said to her
i  loved you  just the way you were
then  she smiled  and for my sake
said,  "pass the caaaaaaaaaaaaake!"
pass  the caaaaaaake
 Pass the caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
 Pass the caaaaaaaake
 Anyways, thats it, hope its satisfactory, comment or send me an e-mail. peaceee
