D Am

She said she\'d live her life more wisely

And so I let her wake up beside me

D Am

He says he’d give up almost anything

If I let him live his life next to me

D Am

I’m not hungry, baby… I am starving

And I’ll not forget about me

About me About me

D Am

I’m the type of girl when you fall in love

You fall forever

D Am

So I count my fingers I count my toes

I remember this I remember those

D Am

I remember every magic moment ‘Cuz when I’m gone

You\'re gonna be alone alone alone

And all this time

He was hoping for a poet

He stands up right next to me

He starts singing

D Am

You forget that girly-man baby

You come with me

D Am

You forget that girly-man baby

You come with me

D Am

So I’m counting backwards

In my bed I start feeling

Like I’m buried alive

I’m buried alive

Right next to me
