[Intro]

E G A B E G A B 

[Verse 1]
E  G       A          B
     She's got stickers on her locker
E  G       A          B
     And the boy's number's there in magic marker
E  G       A          B
     I'm hungry and the hunger will linger
C                    D
I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers

E  G       A       B
     Well every morning I deliver the news
E  G       A         B
     Black hat white shoes and I'm red allover
E  G       A          B
     She's got a pink mailbox, that she puts up front
C                     D
Garbage in garbage out, she's getting what she wants

[Hook]

E             G             A             B
Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
E             G             A              B
If I get busy then I couldn't care less what you do
E             G             A              B
But when I'm by myself I think of nothing else

C                    D
Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you

[Verse 2]
E  G       A         B
     Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
E  G        A       B
     Drifting away when i'm talking and laughing as we float
E  G        A          B
     I hear her whistle, that's how I know she's home
C                  D
Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home

E  G       A          B
     Force fed, forces meds 'till I drop dead
E  G       A          B
     You can't defeat her, when you meet her you'll be what I said
E  G              A      B
     But the lord's joke is a boat in a sea of sadness
C                     D
Bustin' those jokes as I float in a sea of sadness

E           G              A                B
She doesn't know but when she's gone I sit and drink her perfume
E           G              A                B
I'm sure she's drinking too, but why, where and what and for who?
E           G              A                B
And I'm solo rowing. I'm one side off the boat

C                    D
Looking out, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat

[Hook] 
E             G             A             B
Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
E             G             A             B
Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
E             G             A             B
Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
