A                            
He called his best friend long 
               D
distance and told him the news
                    A        
Of his girlfriend's attempted 
            E
suicide by overdose
          A                        
He hadn't taken her to the 
  D
emergency room but her roommates did
   A                       E      
And her stomach was pumped bone 
  A
dry through a tube
        D                    
It only cost her one thousand 
 A
dollars in bills
       D                    E
And an obligatory psychological 
review

A
And she stopped crying in her sleep
D7
And she stopped walking in her sleep
A                             
And she stopped sleeping in her 
  E     A
sleep too

                       E
And she said I'm gonna write your 
name on the walls

          A
I'm gonna carve your name in the 
stalls
          E
I'm gonna write your name on the 
walls
          A                     
I'm gonna carve your name in the 
 D
stalls

A     D            A
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
A     D            E
Stay away from this man
He'll make you swallow aspirin

A D

So she fell in love with a loser who
 robbed used and bruised her
And those were just the salad days
After that a habitual clean up with 
pesto-bismol and prozac
She even got a job as a washing 
machine
And he still calls his friend long 
distance
And speaks of his various 
girlfriends
But there's never really much 
different to tell

Eventually they stop crying in their
 sleep
They stopped walking in her sleep
And they stopped sleeping in her 
sleep as well

And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the 
stalls
And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the 
stalls
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man

And then they pick him up in bars 
and in public parks
And then they pick him up in bars, 
in grocery stores and coffee shops
And then he tears through their legs
 to reach their heart
Through their legs to get their 
heart
Through their legs to steal their 
heart again
And it's a headache
And so they take
A little aspirin
