[Intro]
Em Em

[Verse 1]
G                  D/F#
I was unattached
Em                     Em7                     C
He was quite a catch, with a nose ring
G                               D/F#
Serves coffee on the side
Em                               Em7                     C
Looks handsome in a tie and he knows it
B7
Step into my taxi
A7
Pull away, he’s waving at me

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I can dress it up pretty
C
I can blame it on cities

[Chorus]
G
But he doesn’t want me
D/F#
He doesn’t want me
Am7
When it comes to it
C
Really the truth is
Em
Oh no, he doesn’t want me
A7
And I know that I could pretend
Am7
But it’s one down
C                Dadd11           C           G
And it’s back to daydreams again

[Verse 2]
G                     D/F#
Sometimes you can try
Em                     Em7                               C
Do everything just right, make him notice
G                               D/F#
Cue the moon and stars
Em                     Em7                               C
I’ll wait outside the bar, in a nice dress
Am7
Maybe it just slipped his mind
A7
Maybe he was working late tonight

You can never catch a train

A stranger holds the door

And it’s spring time
