G E7
She said "I'm Rosie"

I said "I thought you were Rose"

She said "No Rosie, I told you so"
G E7
Was here with your sister
A7
But she's going out the back
D7
I was up dancin' and have fun y'know
G E7 A7
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it's here
D7
And I'm freaking out
G E7
I heard you got a brand new name
A7
Selling Es in the dark
A7
But hey it's nothing to shout about
[Pre-Chorus]

Don't just say yes to tease me

Do your up most to please me

Being you can't be easy

Well I see your yellow fingers

And your crucifix bones

All covered in cellophane

"Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again"
G E7
I wouldn't move if I was you

She said "You're so special"

I said "Oh, I'm just just bored I'm just checking out"
