Skinny Legged Girl
A
I’ve written you 37 letters
F#m
None of which I’ll ever send
A
But I write them and re-read them
F#m
Over and over again
Bm
I have 16 that say I love you
E
16 more that wish you death
A E
and drunken Bukowski ramblings
D A
In the five that I have left
To Whom It May Concern
I will not call you on the phone
At 3:30 in the morning
When the loneliness hits home
If Virginia is for lovers
Clinton Avenue’s for fools
And November just can’t help itself
For reminding me of you
Chorus
D
Easy to see
Dm
Oh stupid me
A E D
Has got it bad for a skinny legged girl
A E D
Got it bad for a skinny legged girl
A E D
It goes ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
A E D
ba ba ba da ba ba ba da da
D Dm A
Ba da da la doddy doddy da
Your paintings books and pictures
In a box under my bed
I should throw them all away
But I will keep them here instead
As a reminder of the damage
A black-rimmed glasses girl can do
While I’m walking, talking, living, breathing
Singing, living proof
Chorus
Well like any true romantic
I destroy the things I love
And this role of the victim
Well it fits me like a glove
But every victim needs a villain
And mine looks a lot like you
Sincerely and yours truly
I sign number 42
Chorus
