F Dm
[Verse 1]
F
She'd a bruise so black they watched it fade through the full spectrum of colours
F
They kept it like a pet, a private joke they told no others
F Dm F Dm F
And oh, how the tissue repaired and how it turned to yellow
Dm F Dm F
And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing
Dm F Dm F Dm F Dm
He said that it's not yellow, it's go-o-olden
[Chorus]

They promised they'd be best of friends from now until forever

But both were far too needy not to fall for the other

Dm F Dm F
They left her feeling safe, left him with an erection
[Chorus]

Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets
F
As stiff as starched, only perceptible as her middle was still bra-anded

With a heat rash in the perfect shape of the Show-Me State

Your come-on lines sound disastrous
Bb
Noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake
[Chorus]

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
F/C F/Bb F
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

Letter from me to Charlotte
F
"They appropriated everything we ever loved
F
And dressed it up in quotations and fluff
F Gm F
And I had a dream, though said with hand in pockets
Gm F Gm F
I mean it hand on heart, you held a gun to his head
Dm Gm Gm F
Pressed your thumbs to her throat," in these le-tters
Dm Gm F
Letters from me to Charlotte
[Chorus]

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
F/C F/Bb F
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

Things will never be the same again
