G
I've seen 'em watch you and make plans what they'll do
                               D
When someday, you're no longer mine.

G
I've heard 'em carry on about how, when I'm finally gone,
                              D
They're gonna treat you oh so fine.

A
But I could have told them that
G                             D
They'd never hold you if they tried.

G
I could have told them that, you bend and fold men who
                                 D
Thought they would have you as a prize.
G
I could have told them, those foolish souled men that
                              A
They'd never hold you if they tried.

G
I've been made real aware of pleasure that they'll share
                             D
With you soon as I slip your mind.

G
I've listened to 'em boast how I'll just be a ghost
                               D
Once they start takin' up your time.

A
But I could have told them that
G                             D
They'd never hold you if they tried.
