Verse: 
              A 
You know ya left the window open 
     D              E 
And now the cat is gone 
           A 
And my girlfriend says you're really sweet  
          D            E 
What the hell is going on? 
            A 
You never gave me back my leather jacket 
     D                B 
And now it's out of style 
        A 
And I warned you that that incense burner 
       E                D 
Would set my house on fire 
 
 
Pre Chorus: 
        F#m           A 
Now I'm not going to beat you up 
    B                   F#m 
Or drag you through the mud 
       F#m           A 
I just want all my CD's back 
        E                D             E 
In the cases with the artwork still intact

verse 2: 
               A 
Like when the guy put you in Reno, 
        D           E 
Had a lawyer for a dad. 
        A 
He got ours mixed up and sued my ass. 
      D 
Man that was really cool 
            A 
Of you to fix me up with a girl from work 
      D            B 
That used to be a guy 
          A 
When you lost all my money on the superbowl 
    D               E 
It made me WANT TO CRY! 
 
 
Pre Chorus: 
     F#m          A 
I'm not going to beat you up 
    B                   F#m 
or drag you through the mud 
           F#m          A                E 
When the pending file sharing suit goes down 
     D                                    E 
And why'd you need The whole Metallica catalog anyway? 
     A           E/G#       F#m            E 
We haven't liked them for twelve years. 
              D               E 
We like the Queers, we like beers 
           A          E/G#                F#m            E 
Stuck with Van Halen halfway through the Sammy years

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? 
                A 
And you never gave me back my leather jacket 
     D              B

               A 
I should have beat you with your Birkenstock 
          D                E 
When you set my house on fire!
