A D
AHe called his best friend long distance and Dtold him the news
Of his girlfriend's Aattempted suicide by Eoverdose
He hadn't Ataken her to the emergency Droom but her roommates did
And Aher stomach was pumped Ebone dry Athrough a tube
It only Dcost her one thousand Adollars in bills
And an Dobligatory psychologiEcal review
AAnd she stopped crying in her sleep
D7And she stopped walking in her sleep
AAnd she stopped sleeping in her Esleep Atoo
And she said I'm gonna Ewrite your name on the walls
I'm gonna Acarve your name in the stalls
I'm gonna Ewrite your name on the walls
I'm gonna Acarve your name in the Dstalls
AStay aDway from this Aman
Stay away from this man
AStay aDway from this Eman
He'll make you swallow aspirin
A D
So she fell in love with a loser who robbed used and bruised her
And those were just the salad days
After that a habitual clean up with pesto-bismol and prozac
She even got a job as a washing machine
And he still calls his friend long distance
And speaks of his various girlfriends
But there's never really much different to tell
Eventually they stop crying in their sleep
They stopped walking in her sleep
And they stopped sleeping in her sleep as well
And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the stalls
And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the stalls
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
And then they pick him up in bars and in public parks
And then they pick him up in bars, in grocery stores and coffee shops
And then he tears through their legs to reach their heart
Through their legs to get their heart
Through their legs to steal their heart again
And it's a headache
And so they take
A little aspirin
