Capo on 2nd.
G
Bust open the window, rip down the blinds
I'm sick of hiding from the sweet sunshine
Em C
'Cause it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere
G
I've been locked up in this house for way too long, yeah
I'm sitting around singing sad, sad songs
Em C
And it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere
Em C G
It's been a long time coming
Em C G
I'm jumping off this reckless pity train
Em C G
I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Em C *ring out*
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
G
I know how to nurse a bad heartache and
I can make it worse when I want to feel the pain
Em C
But it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere
G
I know how to cry a river, I know how to drown
Put that anchor 'round my ankles and let it take me down
Em C
But it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere
Em C G
It's been a long time coming
Em C G
I'm jumping off this reckless pity train
Em C G
I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Em C *ring out*
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Em - C G
Keep the change, keep the change
Em - C D
Keep the change, keep the change
Em C G
It's been a long time coming
Em C G
I'm jumping off this reckless pity train
Em C G
I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Em C
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Em C *ring out*
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
