Verse 1:
Gbmaj7                    Fm7                           Ebm7
If I pull the thread, she spins around until there's nothing left
                                    Ebm7
What goes up must go left, at least one time, so don't have no regrets
Gbmaj7                      Fm7                           Ebm7
  I'ma keep you close, just let me go whenever I need you most
                                       Gb
And move away and change your name and hide inside

Chorus:
  (nc)       Db
A small town based New Orleans
                       Ebm7
Her place smelled like steak and coffee
                Db
Bounced up like rays of water
               Ebm7
Stayed up real late just talking
                 Db
Brown skin, like Vince and Reggie
                   Ebm7
Your tattoos are a distant memory
                      Db
But that was not your best decision
                   Ebm7    (nc)
'Cause I liked you better with 'em, you-ou

Interlude: Gbmaj7 Fm7 Ebm7 (x2)

Verse 2:
Db
  If I pull a thread, she strings me 'long 'til I run out of gas
Ebm7
Know good men finish last, but I'm already here, man, that was fast
Db
These city limits are so close together, but I still miss you
    Ebm7
And if you grab my thread, begin to pull, I'll be an empty spool
Db
Flower child on bare elements
                   Ebm7
With Caramello skin, just like Vince and Reggie, even though you only ten percent
Db
  I was not your best decision, you'd be dumb to think me yours
   Ebm7
So change your name and hide your face in a little corner

Chorus:
  (nc)       Db
A small town based New Orleans
                       Ebm7
Her place smelled like steak and coffee
                Db
Bounced up like rays of water
               Ebm7
Stayed up real late just talking
                 Db
Brown skin, like Vince and Reggie
                   Ebm7
Your tattoos are a distant memory
                      Db
But that was not your best decision
                   Ebm7
'Cause I liked you better with 'em, ooh-ooh

Outro:
               Gbmaj7      Fm7
Yeah, and it's just a matter of love
        Ebm7
Tell me if I'm doing too much
                     Gbmaj7
Baby, I can meet you there
Fm7            Ebm7
Halfway, I can meet you this time
          Gbmaj7          Fm7
Yeah, and it's just a matter of love
        Ebm7
Tell me if I'm doing too much
                     Gbmaj7 Fm7
Baby, I can meet you there
   Ebm7
Halfway, I can meet you this time, oh
