[Intro]

[Verse 1]
 
   B
I met Ricky senior year in high school
   E                       B
He moved from Seattle that fall
   E
In school I was invisible, but
   B                B7
Ricky changed all that
   B
We started dating, and I'm not overstating
   E                       Em
When I say we were perfectly matched
   E
In the classrooms, and hallways
   B
It was me and Ricky always
   B6
Permanently attached
 
 
 
[Chorus]
  B
And it was
  E
Me and Ricky
  B
Every lunch hour
  E                  D#
Holding hands in the Caf
  E
Me and Ricky
  B
Mockin' the teachers
  E                       D#m
You should have heard us laugh
  E
Me and Ricky
  B
Hot and sticky
  E               D#
At the back of the bus
            E                D#
I knew if things got tricky, for me and Ricky
 E       B6        B
We would always have us
 
[Verse 2]
 
  B
Before Ricky, I never had a boyfriend
  E                         B
Guys just never saw me that way
  E
So when Ricky set his eyes on me
  B7
Well, I fell fast and hard (Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah)
  B
If Ricky beckoned, I'd be there in a second
  E                               Em
For him I changed my wardrobe and hair
  E
My friends, they were wary
  B
Found Ricky kind of scary
  B6
But they were jealous, I'd swear
 
[Chorus]
 
  B
And it was
  E
Me and Ricky
  B
Cutting classes
  E                 D#
Getting high in the john
  E
Me and Ricky
  B
Stuck in detention
  E             D#m
Trying not to let on
  E
Me and Ricky
  D#
Grabbing a quickie
  E                 D#
Round the back of the gym
  E
And there was panting, and frenching
       D#               E
And needs that needed quenching
  E        B6    B
And Jesus, I needed him
 
[Bridge]
 
B6
  (buildup)
 
  E                   D#
People told me, that Ricky was bad news (Bad news)
  E                   D#
They said ditch him and run (Run!)
  E                  D#m
Far too often good women throw their lives out to men (I'm nothing without you)
 
  F                     E
But, Ricky told me that I was who he lived for
  F              E
He said I was the one  (He said I was the one)
  F
And Ricky, he loved me
  E
He said that he loved me
   E           F
So I let him love me
 F#        G
Again and again
   F#       G         G#
And again and again and again
    A
And again!
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
(quieter)
 
B  B
B  B
(Just like intro)
 
  B
Ricky left me
  B
In fact he left completely
  E                  B
I woke up one day, he was gone
          E
Took my wallet, my laptop
  B
My jewelry, my phone, and my dreams
 
  B
To prove that he was here
  B
Ricky left a souvenir
  E                          Em
A little gift that can't be returned
  E
For once I was clever...
  B
Got rid of him forever...
  B6
Lesson painfully learned
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  B
And now there's
  E
No more Ricky
  B
No more reminder
  E                  D#
No more life laid to waste
  E
No more Ricky
  B
One simple procedure
  E                    D#m
And now that memory's erased
 
[Outro]
 
  E                B
Now I'm picky, with guys I meet like Ricky
  E                  D#
Now I'll make a new start
  E
They can hug me, and squeeze me
  D#                 E
Do everything to please me
  E
Or cut me, and use me
   D#              E
And mentally abuse me
   E
They can think they're connected
   D#
But I'll always be protected
  E                            E7
'Cause They'll never enter my heart
   B6
Ricky left with that part
