Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain,
G         D/F#   C/G         D/G      G      D/F#               C/G     D/G
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,

You and I, yeah, had to be the standing joke of the year,

G             D/F#         C/G       D/G                 G      D/F#      C/G     D/G
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you see,
G                         D/F#     C/G            D/G

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
G             D/F#             C/G       D/G

take off that unbecoming frown
G           D/F#   C/G       D/G       G        D/F#            C/G    D/G
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin cheap in the sales,

A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life
  G        D/F#        C/G    D/G
and not keep going off the rails,
