I'm not super sure about the chorus, but what I have here works
for me... And incidently, the lyrics in the liner notes for this
song our wrong in a few places; that's so like them. :)
G
Well I know it's been a little while
Bmin
Since the first time that I made you smile
Emin D C
And I thought I'd take this opportunity
G
To dig a little deeper inside
Bmin Emin
And try to find out what someone like you
D C
is trying to hide from me
C D
Well I hope that you don't get angry girl
G F# F E
I hope you don't get hurt
D C D C G
By the things I found while goin' through your purse
Your Make-up, your compact, lipstick, and shit like that
And the keys that you keep on a chain
Your cigarettes and my lighter too
And a picture of your sister
God I think your one in the same
Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you
Wouldn't think that I was a jerk
The things I found while goin' through your purse
[the solo goes something like this:]
E|-------------------------4-5-7--4-5-7--4-5-7-4----
B|-4-5-7--4-5-7--4-5-7-4----------------------------
G|------
E|-/9--12---9\-7--10---7\-5---567-5-----
B|--------------------------------------
G|------
(bend up)
E|------------------------5-6^(7)-(7)-(7)--5--4-----
B|-5-6^(7)-(7)-(7)--5--4----------------------------
G|------
E|-/9--12---9\-7--10---7\-5---567-5\----
B|--------------------------------------
G|------
Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you
Wouldn't think that I was a jerk
The things I found while goin' through your purse
[Drum fill... next verse no guitar]
Well a photo of your mother too
And all the guys who date you
And your high school graduation ring
And a check stub from the place you work
Some poetry from some
Stupid jerk who's tryin' to
Steal your heart away from me
Well I hope that you don't get offended girl
Yeah and I hope you don't get hurt
By the things I found while going through
Yeah the things I found when I was goin' thru
The things I found while goin' thru your purse
[variation of solo... end on open Emin chord ]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MATERIAL ISSUE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
