[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
Em
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
B7 Em
Whoa, and then I let him go
Em
Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
Em
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
B7 Em
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway
[Pre-Chorus]
(Muted Strings)
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave
[Chorus]
G D Em
Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
B G D
Like ghosts they want me to make 'em o-o-oh
A C
They won't let go
Em
Ex's and oh's
[Verse 2]
Em
I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Em
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring
B7 Em
My, my, how the seasons go by
Em
I get high, and I love to get low
Em
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
B7 Em
You know that's how the story goes
[Pre-Chorus]
(Muted Strings)
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave
[Chorus 2]

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me

Like ghosts they want me to make 'em o-o-oh
A C

Like ghosts they want me to make 'em o-o-oh
