Humblebums (classic acoustic) version



The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

The book I gave her that she never read

She left without a single word to say

Her father didn't like me anyway.



She always wanted more than I could give

She wasn't happy with the way we lived

I didn't feel like asking her to stay

Her father didn't like me anyway.



Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me

Daddy didn't like my hair

Perhaps if we had talked, he'd have seen something in me

But Daddy didn't really care.



To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve

I know I only got what I deserved

So now she's taken leave of me today

Her father didn't like me anyway.



Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me

Daddy didn't like my hair

Perhaps if we had talked, he'd have seen something in me

But Daddy didn't really care.



The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

The book I gave her that she never read

She left without a single word to say

Her father didn't like me anyway.

Over My Head version



The coat she wore still lies upon the bed

The book I gave her that she never read

She left without a single word to say

Her father didn't like me anyway.



She always needed more than I could give

She wasn't happy with the way we lived

I didn't feel like asking her to stay

Her father didn't like me anyway.



Daddy never knew just what she'd seen in me

He said I was going nowhere

Maybe if we'd talked, he'd have seen something in me

But Daddy didn't really care.



To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve

I know I only got what I deserved

So now she's taken leave of me today

Her father didn't like me anyway.
