Aren’t You The Girl
(Tim Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966
N.C.
Aren’t you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren’t you the girl who used to play at games?
G F
Weren’t you the one who said she’d never fall?
C D
Now you’re the one who’s cryin’ not so tall
Chorus:
G F
Oh I know what it’s like
C D Dsus4
It’s happened many times to me
G
Oh do you ache inside
F
Do your eyes wanna cry?
C D / F / D / F /
Do you want me back again?
Verse 2:
Yes, you’re the one
Shall I throw you a crumb?
Shall I come and pass you by?
Would that make you wanna try?
Shall I come and kiss your lips?
Would that make your game slip?
Shall I come and dry your eyes?
Will that make you realize?
(chorus)
Verse 3:
Aren’t you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren’t you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren’t you the one who used to run and hide?
Now you’re the one who’s cryin’ way inside
(chorus)
(end cold on a D)
***
In case you didn’t notice, almost the entire song is G F C D.
