The Wrens Ex-Girl Collection From: The Meadowlands (2003) Lyrics from http://www.wrens.com/albums-mealyr.html#exgirl (Note: like most Wrens' songs, there's too much going on to accurately reflect it in one guitar part, but you should be able to play along with this. Sorry about the lyrics in the last verse; I'm too lazy to figure them out. Send any corrections to bworlow@yahoo.com) G Bm Em Fourth floor room Am Bm C Each girl I've brought back home to bloom Bm All fold on close inspection G Bm Em Am Bm C Each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves Bm Marking the eve of election D Ex-girl collection Am BmC G Why/ into why not E Into what else you got? Am BBm It's just how men mark time GBEABBm GBEABBm G Bm Em Ann slams in Am Bm C Another lightening round begins Bm This could get interesting G Bm Em Where's Ann been? Am Bm C She pours herself a don't-ask gin Bm D No ice and light on the bitters I'm done with quitters Am Bm C G 'Why / Charles, I found out E Wipe that smile off your mouth Am Bm C I think it's tell-me time...' G Bm Em Britt hit hard Am Bm C She found my box of Beth's best cards Bm Hand cut and signed with 'x's G Bm Em Called at work Am Bm C 'Happy anniversary, jerk' Bm D And I just laughed at the timing with you on hold line 2 still crying Am Bm C G 'Why / play sex on the cuff? E Does Beth like it rough? Am Bm C And learn your dirty lines? G And keep her hair cropped E (The other shoe dropped) Am BmC G 'Is this how men mark time / in couples?', she cursed E (This sounds too rehearsed) Am C G As Ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters Am C G The words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster D I'm called 10 kinds of a bastard Curses came faster G Bm Em Ann stands down Am Bm Bm I think she thinks (something) G Bm Em Ann (something) Am Bm Dm (something) Am Bm C G Why / into why not? E Into charles gone to pot In hotter water Am Bm C G Line/ up to lift up a toast E To the ones I hurt most Am BC And how the well's gone lime G With charles on the plow E I'm roger over and how Am BC Slower now men mark time Am BC Fine Am Bm C Why, / what else you got? (G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm x several times--you can pick out the lead in the verse chords and sound sort of right)
