Exhausting Lover Chords

(ver. 1)
Ben Folds
[Verse 1]
 
E
I woke up in a truck stop parking lot
E                      A
A girl in a red white and blue halter top was staring
A
Thick glasses like mine
E                                    A
And a low bored monotone vocal fry (I like that)
E
She said, who's the band on the bus? What bus?
E                                    A
That one, nerd, the one that you got off of
A                                E
Oh, probably no one you've heard of
C#m
Don't know what came over me
G#m
As I awkwardly dropped my room key
A
I said I think that's yours
    G            A            Bb           C
And three hours later, I was banging this verse out
 
[Chorus]
 
E
Oh no, head meet floor
E
I don't wanna do this no more
A
Every kiss is a jam band solo
A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'
D
My mind says no
D             A
My body says hell no
A            E
Let this be over
E                  B   E
Exhausting lover
 
[Verse 2]
 
E
Not sure if she couldn't stop
E
Or if she wouldn't stop
E                            A
As the motel carpet gave me five more raw spots
A
What's that stabbing my back?
A
Ah, that's a wire from her halter top
E
There was an hour where her head kept banging
E
Against the bottom of a table top
A
I saw my life in a split screen
A
But life's just one shot
C#m
What the hell would I tell my girlfriend
G#m
But the thing is she's not my girlfriend anymore
G            A            Bb           C
I traded it all for some third degree carpet burn
 
[Chorus]
 
E
Oh no, head meet floor
E
I don't wanna do this no more
A
Every kiss is a jam band solo
A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'
D
My mind says no
D             A
My body says hell no
A            E
Let this be over
E                B   E
Exhausting lover
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
Then she handed me a Hot Wheels track
E
I said, girl that's pretty weird
E
Where did you get that?
A
She said never mind that
A
Here nerd, beat my ass in the bath like my dad did
A             E
When I was a bad kid
E
I said, nah what's this
E
Let me up out of the Motel Six
A
And tell me where my pants went
A
That's when I heard the door breaking
A
It wasn't housekeeping
A
It was her boyfriend
C#m
Don't know what came over me
G#m
Out the door in my boxer briefs
A
Some dude live tweeted
      G        A         Bb        C
As I ran half-naked past a Cracker Barrel
 
[Chorus]
 
E
Oh no, head meet floor
E
I don't wanna do this no more
A
Every kiss is a jam band solo
A
Never gonna say YOLO no mo'
D
My mind says no
D             A
My body says hell no
A            E
Let this be over
E                B   E
Exhausting lover
