The rent just went on entertainment
Am F
But, who's gonna say?

It's just not my day

Well, she's not gonna play

The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over

The trust is rusted, the link's been busted
Am F
The seeds are sown
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The signs of regret, what do you expect?
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Echo in the hall

The ghost of the picture still haunts the master

Bedroom mirrored wall
[Chorus]

I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me
F G
Oh, but she has authority

Music all the time

Invisible light
G
I try my best but I transgressed

It used to be fine

The chances are used up, finances used up
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
The energy is low

Letters are returned, lovers are spurned
Am F
Delivered quite a blow
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The signs of disaster, I wouldn't put it past her
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Dagger's in the dark
G
The stale perfume in her old room
Am F
Heart of a shark
[Chorus]

Oh, but she has authority

I guess that that's all
G
The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town
Am F
Leaves begin to fall
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
I guess that that's it
G
The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning
Am F
And all the rest is just bullshit
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The shadow's getting longer, the widow's gettin' younger
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
The cup doth over flow
G
The luxury of pity, babe this wasn't pretty
Am F
On with the show
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Life is a tangle, of one night triangles
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Of tangled-up life limbs
G
You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby
Am F
Goodbye everything
