second-rate

music and lyrics by j. baugher

capo 1st chord formations:    

Em C G D

must’ve been about the fifth of august

you were honest

you were all mixed-up

we were feeling so invincible

our heads were full

but our hearts were all used up

and though you’ve never been one

to hold a grudge

you spilled my blood that night

and no, i’ve never recovered

i discovered why

    Am D G C

    i was never gonna be

    what you saw when you touched him

    i could only ever be

    second-rate, just your date

    when he’s not

    around, and i’m around

    to be what you need right now

must’ve been about a week since sunday

maybe monday

one day, when you called

and i ran to you like wood to fire

full of old desire

only to get mauled

you see me at my most masochistic

you sadistic,

twisted little whore

and once again i have become your victim

torn apart once more

    CHORUS (jazzy)

    CHORUS (normal)
