 Bb5C5
    you were fresh off the boat from virginia

 D5C5D5C5
 i had a year in new york city under my belt

 Bb5C5
 we met in a dream,  we were both 19

 D5C5D5
 i remember where we were standing

 D5C5D5
 i remember how it felt

 Bb5C5
 2 little girls growing out of their training bras

 D5C5D5C5
   this little girl breaks furniture, this little girl breaks laws

 Bb5C5D5
    2 girls together, just a little less alone

 D5C5D5C5
 this little girl cries wee wee   

 C5Bb5C5D5C5D5C5
 all the way home                        

you were always half crazy, now look at you baby
make about as much sense as a nursery rhyme
love is a piano dropped out a four story window
and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time

i don't like your girlfriend, yeah i don't like her
never seen one of your lovers do you so much harm
i loved you first and you know i would prefer
if she didn't empty her syringes into your arm

BRIDGE
 F5G5A5Bb5
 here comes little naked me padding up to the bathroom door

 F5G5A5Bb5
 to find little naked you slumped on the bathroom floor

 F5G5A5Bb5
 so i guess i'll just stand here with my back against the wall

 F5G5A5Bb5
 while you distilled your whole life down to a 911 call

VERSE
(same chords as before)
so now you bring me your bruises
so i can oh and ah at the display
maybe i'm supposed to make one of my famous jokes that makes everything ok
maybe i'm supposed to be the handsome prince who rides up and unties your hands
or maybe i'm supposed to be the furrow-browed friend who thinks she understands

REPEAT BRIDGE
here comes little naked me... etc.

to play open or barre chords, substitute these ones in:
D5 = Dm
C5 = C
Bb5 = Bb
F5 = F
G5 = Gm
A5 = Am

I hope that's right!
