[Verse 1]

G
You made your major overtures

When you were a sure and orotund mutt

G
And I was still a dewey petal

Rather than a moribund slut

G
My love wrecked you

You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace
      C
It hurt more than it ought to hurt
                                                G
I went to work to cultivate a callus

[Pre-Chorus]
                       G
And now I'm hard, too hard to know
             C                               G
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
G
Tears calcify in my tummy
G
Fears coincide with the tow

[Chorus]

Bb                      D              Bb     D
How can I ask anyone to love me
          Bb              D                     G
When all I do is beg to be left alone?

[Verse 2]
G
Oh, when I try to love

I can love the same man in the same bed in the same city

But not in the same room, it's a pity, but
C                                         G
Oh, it never bothered me before

Not 'til this guy, what a guy, oh God what a good guy

And I can't even enjoy him

[Pre-Chorus]
                    G
Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
            C                              G
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
   G
Tears calcify in my tummy
   G
Fears coincide with the tow

[Chorus]

Bb                       D             Bb     D
How can I ask anyone to love me
          Bb              D
When all I do is beg to be left
          Bb              D
When all I do is beg to be left
          Bb              D
When all I do is beg to be left

C G Bb D
Alone
C G Bb D
Alone
C G Bb D
Alone

[Verse 3]
       G
My ills are reticulate

My woes are granular
         C                                           G
The ants weigh more than the elephants

Nothing, nothing is manageable
                         C 
So couldn't we skip the valedictories?

I can see a the door there

Shut it and forget my number

[Pre-Chorus]
                  G
Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
            C                            G
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no

Tears calcify in my tummy

Fears coincide with the tow

[Chorus]

Bb                      D              Bb     D
How can I ask anyone to love me
          Bb               D
When all I do is beg to be left
          Bb               D
When all I do is beg to be left
          Bb               D                   G
When all I do is beg to be left alone?
