Intro: Bass G---D
Verse 1:
G
i'm throwing away pictures
that i never should have
D
taken in the first place
G
and it's cold in my apartment
as i'm changing all the colors
D A
from the brightest reds to grays
Refrain 2:
Bm
well it's 3 o'clock
on monday morning
G
i'm just hoping you're
D A
not seeing his face
Bm
i've been getting calls
in these hotel rooms
G
long enough to know
D
that it was him
A
that took my place
Chorus 1:
and i hope this makes
D
you happy now
that the flame we
G
had is burning out
and i hope you like your
D/F#
pictures facing down
A
as even broken hearts
may have their doubts
Interlude: Bass G---D
Verse 2:
G
and i'm burning
all the letters
hoping that i might forget
D
her and her bad taste
G
that she left when
she was leaving me
a life of barely breathing
D A
as she walked out of this place
Refrain 2:
Bm
and you dropped the note
and we changed key
G
you changed yourself
and i changed me
D
i really didn't see us
A
singing through this
Bm
then you screamed the
bridge and i
cried the verse
G
and our chorus came
out unrehearsed
D
and you smiled the
whole way through it
A
i guess maybe that's
what's worse
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
and i'm taking all your
Bm
memories off the shelf
and i don't need
G
you or anybody else
D
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
A
when you get home
Bridge:
Bm
take me home
i'd rather die
G
than be with you
take me home
you have a problem
D
with the truth
take me home
because this happens
A
every time
i knew it would...
i knew it would...
(Repeat)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat chorus 2)
great! love it! but i think the song ends on a Bm after the A. it adds a little bit of emotion to the ending. GREAT TAB!
