Standard (EADGBE)

I once had a girlfriend

But then one day she dumped me

And everywhere I go people would ask me where she was

I don't want to talk about her

Someone always asks about her

So I tell them all: my girlfriend's dead

I say it's leukemia or sometimes bulimia

Or a great big truck ran her over and chopped off her head

I don't want to talk about her

But someone always asks about her

So I tell them all: she's dead

I guess there's a part of me

That lacks sympathy

Oh, the looks on their faces when I tell them

How she passed away

I don't want to talk about her

But someone always asks about her

So I tell them all shes dead

My girlfriend's dead , you see

It's a total lie but it's easier on me

Than having to admit that she likes someone else

My girlfriend's dead , you know

Please change the subject, I'm going to go

Jump off a building and join her in heaven

I don't want to talk about her

But someone always asks about her

So I tell them all: she's dead

I once had a girlfriend

But then one day she dumped me

And everywhere I go people would ask me where she was

I don't want to talk about her

Someone always asks about her

So I tell them all: my girlfriend's dead
