G#*                     B*
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
C#*                    G#*
I wish nothing but the best for you both
         G#m    
An older version of me, is she preverted like me?
             C#/G#
Would she go down with you to the theater?
               G#m
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?
               C#/G#
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother


[Pre-Chorus]
           G#m
'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able 
                                C#/G#
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    G#m
And every time you speak her name
                
Does she know how you told me 
               C#/G#
You'd hold me until you died? 

'Til you died, but you're still alive


[Chorus]
        G#        F#
And I'm here to remind you
       B                      C#
Of the mess you left when you went away
         G#        F#
It's not fair to deny me
        B                    C#
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
            N.C. 
You, you, you oughta know


[Verse]
G#m                 C#/G#
You seem very well, things look peaceful
G#m                      C#/G#
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
          G#m
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
          C#/G#
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
         G#m
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
            C#/G#
And are you thinking of me when you're with her?


[Pre-Chorus]
           G#m
'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able 
                                C#
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    G#m
And everytime you speak her name
                
Does she know how you told me 
               C#
You'd hold me until you died? 

'Til you died, but you're still alive


[Chorus]
        G#        F#
And I'm here to remind you
       B                      C#
Of the mess you left when you went away
         G#        F#
It's not fair to deny me
        B                    C#
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
            N.C. 
You, you, you oughta know


[Instrumental]
G#m C# G#m C#
G#m C# G#m C#


[Bridge]
           G#m
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed

That was me, and I'm not gonna fade
               C#/G#
As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
    G#m
And every time I scratch my nails
                                    C#/G#
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it

Well, can you feel it?


[Chorus]
        G#        F#
And I'm here to remind you
       B                      C#
Of the mess you left when you went away
         G#        F#
It's not fair to deny me
        B                    C#
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
           
You, you, you oughta know

        G#        F#
And I'm here to remind you
       B                      C#
Of the mess you left when you went away
         G#        F#
It's not fair to deny me
        B                    C#
Of the cross I bare that you gave to me
            N.C. 
You, you, you oughta know
