[Verse 1]
[G]Friend of mine [Gm]in a [G]bar,
Hadn't been chatted up for years,
Got this bloke droning on and [C]on,
[D]Boring [Eb]my poor f[Em]riend to tears,
[G]She looks him dea[Gm]d straight
[C]in the eye[G],
Thinks to herself,
'ooh what a guy,'
But he goes on and on and on [C]and on,
[D]Been polite [G]for far too [D]long,
So, she said,
She said,
She said

[Verse 2]
Take your ci[G]garettes
Take [C]your jokes,
[C#dim]I'll find some[D]one else[Eb] who smokes
[Em]Or high
[G]Or makes me laugh,
a ha [C]ha ha![C#dim][D][Daug]
[D]So,

[Verse 3]
[C]here she is, all alone [D]again,
[G]Hasn't had [D]nothing but [C]strife,[D]
[G]Every guy [C]she seems to meet
[C#dim]Is either [D]hom[Eb]ogenized or man and wife,
Mm, [G]not gonna [Eb]settle for [C]any low life,
'Cause she strives [G]herself
more than her [C]ap petite,
[G]So she strives on and[C]
on and on [C#dim]and on,
[D]Loser still coming on so strong
She [Daug]said,
[D]She said,
She said

[Verse 4]
Take your ci[G]garettes
Take [C]your jokes,
[C#dim]I'll find [G]someone else who smokes

and [G]ponder
About what's going [C]wrong and [D]why

Cries a tear a [D]little too [Eb]high[D]
[G]But all [Eb]she wants is somebody [D]to like
[Gm]A smoke or [G]a drink [C]or the
love of her [D]life
[G]But her frustra[C]tions just go on and on,
