Yes There Is A Slight Chance That He Might Fail

Lyrics more than likely wrong. Solo may be attempted at a later date, same with picked
intro. The chords do me just fine at the moment.
Capo 5
Intro: C G Am Fmaj7 X 2
C G
I gave you a flower
Am Fmaj7
He gave you a whole bunch
C G
He cut you a diamond
Am Fmaj7
I cut you your lunch
C G
I wrote you a pamphlet
Am Fmaj7
He wrote her a whole book
C G
He paid them both to the movies
Am Fmaj7
I stole you a look
Chorus:
G Em Am
I cannot win
Fmaj7 C G Am Fmaj7
Since the day we watched the move in
C G Am Fmaj7
(like verse before)
Another sick joke
At my expense
But you cant live your life
With one eye over the fence
So I wrote you this song
Her wrote her an operatic medley
He bought her a car
I doubled you on my trendy???
I can't compete
Since they moved to our street
Solo
C G Am Fmaj7 X 4
I candidly took you photo
But it came out a blur
In their hall hangs a portrait
He had commissioned for her
And on Valentine's Day
What was I to do
She got a ninety-verse sonnet
I struggled with a haiku
Makes me see red
But I still couldn't wish them both dead
C G Am Fmaj7
C G Am Fmaj7
I'm gonna fail
C G Am Fmaj7
What if I fail
C G Am Fmaj7
He's gonna fail
C G Am Fmaj7
He could possibly fail
C G Am Fmaj7
He could possibly fail
C G Am Fmaj7 C
He's gonna fail
