[Verse 1]
[G]I met
Ricky senior year in high school.
He [C]moved from
Seattle that [G]fall.
[C]In school I was invisible, but
[G]Ricky changed [C]all [A]that.[D][G]
We started dating,
and I'm not overstating
When [C]I say we were perfectly m[B]atched
In the [C]classrooms and hallways
It was [Bb]me and
Ricky al[C]ways
[A]Perman[Bb]ently attached
[G]And it was[C] me and
[Bb]Ricky
[Gm]Every [G]lun[Dm]ch ho[C]ur
[Bb]hold[C]ing hand[Bb]s in the[Gm]
[Bb]camp [G]me [C]and
Ricky mocking [Bdim]the teac[E]h
ers [A]you should have
[C#dim]heard us lau[D]gh me [E]and[Fm][Bb][C]
Ricky [G]hot and sticky [C]at the back
of the [F]bus [E]I knew if
[Am]Things [A]got [Bbdim]trick y, for[B] me and
[Em]Ricky[A]
We would al[D]ways have [G]us
Before
Ricky, I never had a boyfriend
[C]Guys just never saw me that [G]way
So [C]when
Ricky set his eyes on me
Well, [G]I fell fast and[D] ha[A]rd[Fm][C]
[G]If
Ricky beckon[C]s,
I'd [Gm]be there in a se[C]cond
For him, I'd change my wardrobe and [B]hair
[C]My friends, they were [C#dim]wary, found
[G]Ricky kind of [E]scary
[A]But they were [G]jealous, I'd swear
Then it [C]was me and
[Bbdim]Rick y
[Daug]Cut ting[G] cla[Bdim]sses,[Em]
[D]get[C]ting hig[Bb]h in the joh[G]n[Dm]
[Bdim]Me and[C]
[Edim]Rick y, [Daug]stuck in deten t[Fdim]ion[E]
Try[A]ing [C#dim]not to let on[A][D][Em][D]
[C]Me and
[Gm]Ricky, [G]grabbing a qui[C]ckie
Round the back of [A]the [G]gym[F]
[E]There was [Am]panting and [Bbdim]frenching
And [B]knees that needed [Em]quenching
An[A]d
Jesus, [G]I needed him
[Em]People [A]told [Em]me that[A]
Ricky [C#dim]was bad news[A]
[Em]They [A]said [Em]ditch him [A]and [C#dim]run[A]
[Em]Far too ofte[D]n good[A] wo me[C]n
throw their lives after [B]men
I'm [C#m]nothing [Ddim]without you
[B]But,
[Fm]Ricky told me that I was[Bb]
who he lived for
[Fm]He s[Bb]aid I [Fm]was the one[Bbsus4][Bb]
And
[Fm]Ricky, [Bb]he lo[Eb]ved me
[Bb]He said that h[Ddim]e loved [C#]me
So [C]I let him l[Dm]ove me a[Ebdim]gain and agai[C]n and agai[D]n
and [Em]again and [Fdim]again and ag[D]ain[Dm][G]
Ricky [Gm]left [G]me, in fact he left completely I [C]woke up one day,
he was [Gm]gone
[C]Took my wallet, my laptop, my [G]jewelry,
my phone, [C]and my [A]dreams[D]
[Bb]To p[C]rove[G] that he was here,
Ricky left a souvenir
A [C]little gift that can't be returned
[B]For[Bb] once[C] I was clever[C#dim][C#]
[C]Got [D]rid of him [E]forever[A]
Lesson [D]pain[G]fully [C]learned[G][C]
And [C]now there's no more
Ricky
[G]No more reminder
[C]No [Bb]more life played to [Gm]waste[Bb]
[C]No more
Ricky
One [Gm]simple [F]proced[E]ure
An[A]d now that memory's e[D]rased[Em][E]
[D]Now[C] I'm picky with guy[G]s I meet like
Ricky
[C]Now I'll make a new [G]start[Fdim][E]
They can [Am]hug me and [Bbdim]squeeze me
Do [B]everything to [E]please me
Or [Am]cut me and [Bbdim]use me
And [Bm]mentally ab[E]use me
They can [Am]think they're con[Bbdim]nected
But I'll [B]always be pro
[Em]tected[G][C#dim]
[Bbdim]Cause the[C]y'l[Am]l never enter [D]my
[Bdim]heart[E][F#][Bbdim][E][A]

[Outro 1]
Ricky left with that part
