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?
