Intro:  F#, D, A (x2)

CHORUS:

A             G# Eii
we would drag ourselves to bed
    F#                      E     D
and sleep took everything i had i kept it up till he would call
A                G#     Eii
you made me feel like a criminal
F#                          E            D
then there's you you kept a smile though i would always walk the wire

Verse:

A
   you gave it all i gave you reason to have 
F#                 Eii
doubt i had to get out of there i took the stairs and
A                             C# D
i dont want to fight with you if i cant be the one to have you
F#                 Eii
you sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen
A                           C#        D
i memorized lines your eyes made with every squint you shot my way

D (let ring)

repeat CHORUS

A (let ring)
but you're miserable and i'm useless
always making up excuses i made you cry too many times
so i'm hangin up that line

A                          E                                 D
i'm throwing rocks at your floor i'm knockin down your front door 
                A                        E
i'm desperate tonight and i just want to fight
          D
its my confusion that lets me act so 
A                      E          D                     A
cold so now i'll go go go and you want to be just left alone
              E                D                         A
put down that phone but if you want me just call out hey boy
