Tom : Am
C E Am G
[Verse 1]
C
I lied to you
E
I never cried for you
Am
I swear that I tried to
G
But I have better things to do
C
Now you're on the road
E
with your painful load
Am
and the words I spoke
G
left your big heart broken
[Chorus]
F G
You know you still bother
C E Am
because love is for the poor
F G
So I left you knockin'
C E Am
outside my front door
F G
You knew what this was
C E Am
I don't want you anymore
F G
I warned you before
F G
I warned you before
F G C E Am G
That i could've sworn, I told you I was mean
[Verse 2]
C
You were a sweet old thing
E Am
And I was lonely, so I let you hold me
G
for a limited time only
C
You seeeeeeeeeeee
C E
You're nothing to meeeeeeeeeeee
Am
Cuz I'll always beeeeeeeeee
G
a bad bad seed.
[Chorus]

And....you know you still bother

because love is for the poor
F G
So I left you knockin'

So cut out your knockin'
C E Am
cuz I will never come, I will never come to the door
