Verse 2
C Em* Am
Old gap-toothed Annie was a friend of mine
Dsus2/F#The third time around she was Fborn again
C Em* Am
She must have burned at least a half-a-million dollars
Dsus2/F#In the little rooms next door to wash-Fand-fold
C Em* Am
And there ain't no consolation prize

C Em* Am
Just the wild-eyed faces and names that you've forgotten
Dsus2/F#"Hey, the money's gone, FI'm broken, could I please come over?"
