Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

He was in the habit of taking things for granted

 Granted, there wasn't much for him to take

 And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change

 Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him

 that talk is even cheaper told in bulk

 And the only thing constant was the constant reminder

 He'd never change

And so she yelled at him:

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 I know what I should get this time

She was in the habit of reapplying makeup

 Makeup, eaten up by crocodile tears

 And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

 Overtly individual - covertly traditional

She couldn't seem to make up her mind

 And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

And so he yelled at her:

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 I know what I should get this time

Oh... Is it real? I don't know

 But, I'll act as if it is

 What's our deal? I don't know

 But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is

 If it is, then this might just work

They were in the habit of taking things for granted

 Granted, they never quite knew what they had

 And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change

And so they yelled out loud:

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU

 You owe me an IOU

 Don't think that I'll forget

 I know what I should get

 Yeah I know what I should get this time
