G          Cadd9              G     Cadd9  G
  There is a girl I used to know
G           Cadd9               Asus4/D
  She had a hundred ways of hurting you and so
  Cadd9              G/B             G            D/F# Cadd9
I packed my bags and left her as she watched some TV   show
D                           G     Cadd9  G
  There is a girl I used to know

[Verse 2]

G          Cadd9          G      Cadd9   G
There is a town I used to love
   G                   Cadd9          Asus4/D
It once contained most everything I'd ever dare dreamed of
   Cadd9       G/B                 G       D/F#    Cadd9
My baby in the basement whilst the traffic trawled above
D                           G      Cadd9  G
  There is a town I used to love

[Verse 3]

G            Cadd9         G     Cadd9  G
  There is a bar I used to know
  G                    Cadd9          Asus4/D
I still sometimes drop by when I have no place left to go
     Cadd9              G/B       G          D/F#     Cadd9
It's where the kings of comedy compare their tattered souls
D                          G      Cadd9  G
  There is a bar I used to know

[Middle 8]

   Am              C                Gsus4 G
So buy me one more drink before you go
   Am                   C                    Gsus4  G
Or lend me a twenty and I'll get drunk on my own
    Am               C             Am           G
You always find some company, come in to use the phone
Am               C              Am         C       D7
Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone

[Verse 4]

G            Cadd9          G     Cadd9  G
  There is a joke I used to tell
     G                  Cadd9           D
Some guy who gets three wishes, ends up wasting them to hell
    Cadd9         G/B        G         D/F#    Cadd9
And in the end in misery, he tells the joke himself

[Verse 5]

G            Cadd9         G     Cadd9  G
  There is a guy I used to know
     G        Cadd9               Asus4/D
  He once had everything that any man could hope
    Cadd9            G/B             G         D/F#   Cadd9
And now he sits here drinking with a tale that always goes
D                            G
  'There is a girl I used to know'
