INTRO C Em Fmaj7 C Am Em Fmaj7 G
VERSE
C Em
Well she calls me up when she's broken
Fmaj7 C
says to leave my front door open
Am Em
I come home to find her smoking
Fmaj7 G
with her eyes all fragile and thin

always coped badly with coping

I never know when she's joking
Fmaj7 G
because she never lets anyone in
[Refrão]

Now I'm a fool to let her
C F
run away with my heart

of these games

Loving her is like playing

catch in the dark
C F G
I'm a teardrop in an ocean
C
of flames
VERSE
C Em
And we'll drink too much for a wednesday
Fmaj7 C
she asks me why none of her men stay
Am Em
and I tell her just what her friends say
Fmaj7 G
it never goes down too well
C Em
We should stay here till late in the evening
Fmaj7 C
but she is always arriving or leaving
Am Em
never decides to believe in
Fmaj7 G
the people who know her so well
[Refrão]
F F
Now I'm a fool to let her

run away with my heart

She says if we're still single at 40

we'll get married and move to the country
Fmaj7 C G

she leaves me with no warning
