Am
  Girl afraid
     Am
Where  do his intentions lay?
F          Bm            F#m
Or does he even have any?
G    A
 She says

[Chorus]
   Bm             D
"He  never really looks at me
G A          Bm           D     G
   I give him  every opportunity
A       Bm       D         G
 In the room downstairs he sat and stared
A       Bm       D                G
 In the room downstairs he sat and stared
A           G            C
 I'll never make that mistake again"

And everything she wants costs money

[Chorus]
G A       Bm            D
  "But she  doesn't even like me

   And I  know because she said so

A       Bm       D          G
 In the room downstairs she sat and stared
A       Bm       D                 G
 In the room downstairs she sat and stared
A           G            C
 I'll never make that mistake again,
