Strum
D-DU-UDU
She's  a bad actress
 But hey
 You give her the big lines  anyway
 Though her eyes  are big as Canada
 And her hips are  South Australia
 And the shoulder  blade is Africa
 Looking out  on South America
 Im out  here on  the sea
 And here heart  ain't where it ought  to be
 She's a bad actress
 But hey
 She's got a big part in your play
 Now my apartment lies awake at night
 It tosses everytime she sighs
 Tries to make it easy on her eyes
 But I can feel it giving up the fight
 My whole buildings on it's last floors
 Her hearts not in it anymore
Ooh.........
Ooh.............................
 She said she gave her heart to you
 If it was precious why'd you lose it?
 But if it was golden, it'd shine
 If it's big it won't be hard to find
 If it's real, it stains your hand like wine
 You can look but there is no use in trying
 Cause no matter what she said, the truth
 Is that she never gave her hear to you
