Chorus
Verse 3: (Same as others)
it took me a year to believe it was over,
and it took me two more to get over the loss.
I took a beating when I wrote you those letters,
and every time you told me to get lost.
^Am Now it's not ^D fair to say that it's
'cause ^G I was ^G/F# three inches s ^Em horter then, ^Am
and it's not ^D fair to say that it's 'cause
^G I was only ^G/F# fifteen years ^Em old. ^Am
But maybe it's f ^D air to say it was a l ^G ack of co ^G/F# mmunic ^Em ation, ^Am
D g G/F# Em Am
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh, and Enid,
^D Enid you got a cold.
^G I can get a job I can ^Am pay the phone bills
I can cut the l ^Cm awn, cut my hair, c ^G ut out my cholesterol
^G I can work overtime ^Am I can work in a mine
^Cm I can do it all for you,
G (stacatto)
But I don't want to.

(Behind the last part, so same chords)
^G I can teach you how to dance, ^Am how to sing, how to knit,
^Cm How to make things that you ^G never ever made before
^G Enid, I can teach you how to ^Am use cookie cutters
To ^Cm make crazy things out of P ^G lay-Doh.
Little houses, l ^G ittle farms, little ^Am accessories for your mom,

G (stacatto) Am (stacatto) Cm (stacatto) G (let ring)

For the last line, the chords are staggered a bit... that is to say,
they're played a beat or two after they would normally be.
