VERSE
C
Every night I saw you there
F
In your old wicker chair
C            F
Singing, ooh
C
You were wrong, I was right
F                          C        F
Didn't matter in a fight, ooh
 
C
Coffee mug filled it up
F
Always knew what it was
C         F
Sing, ooh
C
Been on your side for years
F                                   C     F
You could never love without crying
 
Dm          F            C
Is she dead, is she fine
Dm        F
Every day, every night
 
C     F     x2
 
C                   F                     C      F
Fate has dealt me a lonely blow, I said, ooh
C
Tried to help, only hurt
F                            C        F
In the end I made it worse, ooh
 
Dm          F            C
Is she dead, is she fine
Dm         F           C
Every day, every night
 
INSTRUMENTAL
C     F     x4
 
C                   F
  Give back my keys,  give back my chair
C                              F
  Take back those clothes you always left on the floor
 
C     F     x2
 
C                   F
  You drove me wild,  drove me insane
C                              F
  Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name
 
PRE CHORUS
Dm                      G
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Dm                             G              G7
Finally I could see you as the leader of the landslide
 
CHORUS
C    E                Am     F               C
    She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
    E                Am    F           C
    Please believe me, I smell the alcohol
    E                Am       F                C
    The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
    E                    Am                 F
    And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep
 
C     F     x2
 
C                  F
  You blamed it all on your kids
C                        F
  We were young, we were innocent
C                   F
  You told me a lie, fuck you for that
C                         F
  Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers
 
PRE CHORUS
     Dm                           G
And all this time I waited like a fool and for the first time
Dm                           G             G7
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide
 
CHORUS
C    E                Am     F               C
    She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
    E                Am      F               C
    Please believe me, don't answer when she calls
    E                Am       F                C
    The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
    E                    Am                 F
    And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep
 
C     F     x2
 
C                         Em
Out there on my own I was feeling so alone
       Am                 F
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
C                        Em
Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees
       Am                F
In the aftermath of this broken glass
 
OUTRO
F  C  G  Am
Ah ah ah ah
F  C  G  Am Asus A
Ah ah ah ah
F  C  G  Am  F
Ah ah ah ah  ah
