I've been [G][C6sus2/G]long...

and [G]drank til I was thirsty [C]again.
Verse 2
We went [G][C6sus2/G]searching...
through thrift store [G]jungles[C6sus2/G]

and [G]Benny Goodman's corset and [C]pen.

I [C]promised you I'd never give [D]up.

You get [G][C6sus2/G]down...

Well [G]who hasn't been there [C]before?
Verse 4
I come [G][C6sus2/G]round...
around the [G]hard way[C6sus2/G]

and [G]serve you french toast [C]again.

I'm [C]not the kind of girl you'd take [D]home.
