     C 
Baby close your eyes 

and hear the words I say 
     Am 
Oh I realize 

That you're in a lot of pain 
       G 
and I apologize 

I never wanted it this way, 
C              G 
Please...don't cry 

                        C 
Baby I sold your dog on eBay 
                         Am 
We both knew that we had bills to pay 
                        G           C 
It was either him or my PlayStation 2 
      G                C 
which doesn't even eat food 
         G          C            G 
and will never ever pee on the duvet 

        C 
One day I came home 
          
and that dog had escaped 
      Am 
he forsook his bone 

and instead he ate 
     G 
everything I own 

from the couch to the drapes 
  C                 G 
I called you on the phone 

                             C 
And said "I'm selling him on eBay 
                            Am 
We both know that we've got bills to pay 
                       G          C 
He peed on season 2 of Deep Space 9 
       G            C 
That's crossing the line 
    G           C         G 
I'm listing the auction today" 

  C                          G 
I put him in a box with some Styrofoam peanuts 
  C                    
a bag of kibble and a couple of milk bones 
    C                   G 
the guy online paid for overnight shipping 
       C                       G    C 
so the very next day he was in Buffalo 

    C      G     C 
Oh, please don't cry, 
           G     C 
Oh, please don't cry, 
             G     C 
Baby, please don't cry, 
                G 
Goddammit, stop crying. 

         C 
He is an ugly dog 

like a ball of walking fuzz 
             Am 
and he poops constantly 

more than any other dog does 
             G 
but we won't have to worry 

about it anymore because 
       C         G 
please listen to me 

                   C 
Yeah I sold him on eBay 
                         Am 
we both knew that we had bills to pay 
                      G       C 
I got a hundred fifty dollars for 
               G                C 
that mutt that peed all over my floor 
      G               C       G 
and I know they'll be hell to pay 

            C 
Yeah we had bills to pay 
                     Am 
so I sold her dog on eBay 
                            G          C 
I told her "you have got to understand it 
G              C 
yeah, he could sit 
       G          C        G 
but he absolutely couldn't stay. 
C              G 
yeah, he could sit 
       C          G        C 
but he absolutely couldn't stay."
