The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

New versions

Capo: 3
Was [G]any of it true[D]?
[G]Gazing at me st[D]arry-eyed
In your Jeho[G]vah's Witness [D]suit
W[G]ho the fuck was th[D]at guy?
You tr[G]ied to buy some pi[D]lls
From a fri[G]end of friends of mi[D]ne
Th[G]ey just ghosted you[D]
N[G]ow you know what it fe[D]els like
[G]And I don't even want you back, I just w[D]ant to know
[G]If rusting my sparkling summer was the g[D]oal
[G]And I don't miss what we had, but could s[D]omeone give
[G]A message to the smallest man who [D]ever lived?
You h[G]ung me on your w[D]all
Sta[G]bbed me with your p[D]ush pins
[G]In public, showed me [D]off
[G]Then sank in stoned obli[D]vion
'Cause [G]once your queen had [D]come
You [G]treat her like an [D]also-ran
You [G]didn't measure [D]up
In [G]any measure [D]of a man
[G]And I don't even want you back, I just [D]want to know
[G]If rusting my sparkling summer was the [D]goal
[G]And I don't miss what we had, but could [D]someone give
[G]A message to the smallest man who [D]ever lived? =MUTE=
Were you sent by someone[G] who wanted me dead[Em]?
Did you sleep with a [D]gun underneath our [C]bed?
Were you writing a [G]book? Were you a sleeper cell [Em]spy?
In fifty years, will [D]all this be declassifi[C]ed?
And you'll confess why you [G]did it
And I'll say, "Good [Em]riddance"
'Cause it wasn't [D]sexy once it wasn't forbidd[C]en
I would've died for your [G]sins
Instead, I just died [Em]inside
And you deserve [D]prison, but you won't get [C]time
You'll slide into [G]inboxes and slip through the [Em]bars
You crashed my [D]party and your rental [C]car
You said normal girls were [G]boring
But you were gone by the [Em]morning
You kicked out the [D]stage lights
But you're still [C]performing
And in plain sight you [G]hid
But you are what you [Em]did
And I'll forget [D]you, but I'll never [C]forgive
The smallest man who ever [G]lived
