[Verse 1]
   A                Amaj7   D               E7sus4
To do what I should do,  to long for you to hear,
Bm                   G                   G/F
Open up my heart and watch her name ap - pear,
  A               Amaj7   D              E7sus4
A word for you to use,  a girl without a cause,
  Bm                           G            G/F
A name for what you lose, when it was never yours,
       C                  G
Oh---, you! Doo'n, doo'n, doo!

[Chorus]
    D                        A
The first time, baby, that I came to you,
    Bm                     G
Oh, I'd do things that you want me to,
    D                         A
The second time, baby, that I came to you,
F                   G
Oh, you found ...my love for you,
    D                        A
The third time, baby, that I came to you,
Bm           G
Oh--, hoh--, hoh---, ...I knew,
    D                       A
The last time, baby, that I came to you,
    A#                 C                D      N.C.
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word

[Verse 2]
    A                   Amaj7     D              E7sus4
The name the girl out - grew, the girl was never real,
    Bm                          G              G/F
She stands for your abuse, that girl is no i - deal,
       A                 Amaj7     D               E7sus4
It's a word for what you do,  in a world of broken rules,
    Bm                           G                 G/F
She found a place for you ...a - long her chain of fools,
       C                   G
Oh---, you!  Doo'n, doo'n, doo!

[Chorus]
    D                        A
The first time, baby, that I came to you,
    Bm                     G
Oh, I'd do things that you want me to,
    D                         A
The second time, baby, that I came to you,
F                   G
Oh, you found ...my love for you,
    D                        A
The third time, baby, that I came to you,
Bm           G
Oh--, hoh--, hoh---, ...I knew,
    D                       A
The last time, baby, that I came to you,
    A#                 C                D     N.C.
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word!
