CAPO 2nd FRET
G F G F
Jesus stole my baby
G F G F
Jesus stole my girl
G F G F
He took her away for an hour every Sunday
Dm C D
And cut all of her beautiful curls
G F G F
She was always easy
G F G F
Seven days of the week
G F G F
Now she's a bore and I've seen it before
Dm C D
She thinks it gives her some kind of mystique
G F G F
Said that she just wants to save me
G F G F
Said you can't go on the way that you are
G F G F
She chased all my friends, hurts my brain till it bends
Dm C D
Hides my cigarettes and steals my guitar
F G D (x3)
F G D F G D
And it's a long time since she was mine,
F G D
Pretending I am fine
F G F B7 A
Another simple boy on the telephone line
D F G D
And though she is living here with me
F G D
I'm aching to be free
F G F B7 A
She takes it all so god damn seriously
G F (x4)
G F G F
Well I've always been in love with her treasure
G F G F
But she might as well be locked up in chains
G F G F
When I ask she says no and I'm feeling so low
Dm C D
I'm bursting from my feet to my brains
G F G F
Now if I could only talk to this Jesus
G F G F
I'd tell him just how lonely I've been
G F G F
I'd ask him to send home my baby again
Dm C D
So she can see what kinda state I've been in
G F G F
Jesus stole my baby
G F G F
So maybe I should steal his
G F
She used to be mine
G F
Now she's so dull and divine
Dm C D
May not be nice but that's the way that it is
F G D (x3)
F G D F G D
And I'm lost here among the clowns
F G D
Jesus men in gowns
F G F B7 A
All sandals and out of tune guitars
D F G D
And she talks in terrified tones
F G D
Of skeleton bones
F G F B7 A
Screaming through a mangled microphone
F G D F G D
And it's a long time since she was mine,
F G D
Pretending I am fine
F G F B7 A
Another simple boy on the telephone line
D F G D
And though she is living here with me
F G D
I'm aching to be free
F G F B7 A
She takes it all so god damn seriously
A (x2)
B7 G
Dm C G (til fade).
