Chord/Tab song: Unemployed Boyfriend

Songs From An American Movie Volume 1: Learning How To Smile

"Hi, this is Peggy, leave a nice message or I'll kill ya"
"Hey Peggy it's me. You are never gonna believe what happened to me today"

!!!!NOTE!!!! - The third chord in the following riff (which is also used throughout
the tab) may well be wrong. There's about half a million suggestions for it down at
the bottom of the tab, with the most recent at the bottom, including the word from
Art himself, but anyway have a look and decide for yourself

"And out from nowhere this total stranger walked right up to me
Sits down then leans over and says something like, "This is going to sound a

This is gonna sound a little obsessive, this is gonna sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say before I turn and I walk away
This is gonna sound a little impulsive, this is gonna sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet, but you and I, we will be together someday

Ever since when I first saw you, sitting on your car outside
You asked for a cigarette, I couldn't stop staring at your eyes
Ever since when I first saw you, looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights in the office around you
Those blond streaks they look so pretty in your black hair
