Title:	'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel

G C
It's the kind of night that's so cold, when you spit
G
it freezes before it hits the ground
G C
And when a bum asks you for a quarter, you give a dollar
D
if he's out tonight he must be truly down
C
And I'm searching all the windows for a last minute present
Am
to prove to you that what I said was real,
D Am
for something small and frail and plastic, baby,
C G
'cause cheap is how I feel

G C
Half moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
G
to come up with an answer
C
to the question why is it that every time I see you
G
my love grows a little stronger
C
But your memory leaves my stomach churning,
D
feeling like a lie about to be revealed,
Am C
but I'll horde all this to myself
G
'cause cheap is how I feel

G C
It's not the smell in here that gets to me it's the lights
G
I hate the shadows that they cast,
C
and the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
D
I'll always drag with me from my past
C
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight, to fall into
Am
and maybe strike a deal
D Am
Your body for my soul, fair swap
C G
`cause cheap is how I feel
