Strum
D-DU-UDU
 2x
You  threw me out  on the sidewalk  last night,
You  dumped my clothes  out the window  too.
I  threw rocks  at the glass  panes and wood,
 We need to talk  I needed  a word  with you.
We  made up  on the couch  on the floor,
But  you told  me I needed  to lose
A  few pounds  on the body  I loved,
 I went to work  and I talked  with a man  I grew up  with.
 He said,
"Oh,  a sad  sight you are, you are slowly  unraveling  me.
Oh,  no tears  on a Tuesday you need better  than what  he can give  you.
Better  than what  he can give  you."
 2x
He  held me tight  for longer  than normal,
I  cuddled close,  I couldn't  believe  it.
He  whispered words  in my ear  it was nice,
 But it wasn't  the same  when he called  me the wrong  name.
I  ran off  down the street  down the corner,
 And he caught  me  in his arms.
And  once again  he delivered  a comfort,
 A need  I had known  ever since  I was young.
 He said,
"Oh,  a sweet  sight you are, you are slowly  unraveling  me.
Oh,  I 'd kill  for your heart. What a strange  man indeed  who would lose  you.
 A strange  man indeed  who could lose  you."
 4x
 hold  hold
 Oh, a sweet sight you are, you are slowly undoing me.
Oh,  I'd kill  for your heart. What a strange  man indeed  who could lose  you.
   hold
 A strange man indeed who could lose you.

[A] [E] [Bm] [D] 2x

[A]You threw me o[E]ut on the s[Bm]idewalk last [D]night,
[A]You dumped my [E]clothes out the [Bm]window too.[D]
[A]I threw ro[E]cks at the gl[Bm]ass panes and w[D]ood,
We need to t[A]alk I n[E]eeded a w[Bm]ord with you.[D]

[A]We made [E]up on the c[Bm]ouch on the f[D]loor,
[A]But you t[E]old me I n[Bm]eeded to lose [D]
[A]A few po[E]unds on the [Bm]body I lo[D]ved,
I went to w[A]ork and I t[E]alked with a m[Bm]an I grew u[D]p with.

He said,
[A]"Oh, a s[E]ad sight you are, you are s[F#m]lowly un[E]raveling me.[D]
[A]Oh, no te[E]ars on a Tuesday you need b[F#m]etter than w[E]hat he can g[D]ive you.
[F#m]Better than w[E]hat he can g[D]ive you."

[A] [E] [Bm] [D] 2x

[A]He held me t[E]ight for l[Bm]onger than n[D]ormal,
[A]I cuddled cl[E]ose, I c[Bm]ouldn't belie[D]ve it.
[A]He whispered w[E]ords in my [Bm]ear it was n[D]ice,
But it w[A]asn't the s[E]ame when he c[Bm]alled me the w[D]rong name.

[A]I ran o[E]ff down the s[Bm]treet down the c[D]orner,
And he c[A]aught me[E] in his arms.[Bm]        [D]
[A]And once a[E]gain he de[Bm]livered a c[D]omfort,
A n[A]eed I had k[E]nown ever s[Bm]ince I was y[D]oung.

He said,
[A]"Oh, a s[E]weet sight you are, you are s[F#m]lowly unr[E]aveling me.[D]
[A]Oh, I 'd k[E]ill for your heart. What a s[F#m]trange man ind[E]eed who would l[D]ose you.
A st[F#m]range man ind[E]eed who could l[D]ose you."

[A] [E] [D] 4x

[A] hold     [E] hold                       [F#m]      [E]       [D]
Oh,     a sweet sight you are, you are slowly undoing me.
[A]Oh, I'd k[E]ill for your heart. What a s[F#m]trange man ind[E]eed who could l[D]ose you.
   [F#m]           [E]              [D] hold
A strange man indeed who could lose you.
