Today Withered Hope saw the Very Sad Sack
And she tried not to meet his eyes
           E
And he cut out a paper heart, pinned it to his arm
Gave her everything he was holding in his head
This is what he said:

N.C./E
Withered Hope says she has a soul mate
Living in a city in another state
But the soul mate thinks about a picture in a book of a beautiful crook
        D/E
And the picture of the crook in the book is in love with the brand new motorbike
        E
But the motorbike doesn't like crooks,
It's obsessed with the Very Sad Sack
