VERSE:

     G+G
Well the pills I got they ask me lets go out for a while
    G+G                  D7D7
And the knives up in the kitchen are all too dull to smile
       G+G
Yeah and the sun it tries to warn me
     C majorC
Boy those wings are made of wax
     C majorC       G+G
While the things I do to kill me
      D7D7
They just tell me to relax

    G+G
But oh... cinderella
                       C majorC
All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms
  run down: G+G
I’m not the fellow
                      D7D7
To protect you or to keep you from all your harm
  G+G      C majorC     G+G
And I don’t know which is worse
        C majorC
To wake up and see the sun
   D7D7
Or to be the one be the one
    C majorC  D MajorD    G+G
Be the one that’s gone

Harmonica:

G+G  CMaj9Cmaj9 c6/9  C majorC x2


    G+G        C majorC   G+G
And the empty bottle it misses you
     G+G           C majorC      G+G
Yeah and I’m the one that it’s talking to
     G+G           C majorC     G+G
And with you and I just barely strangers
   D*
I’m pretty much just left the fool
         G+G          Gsus2Gsus2
Damn... don’t the streets look empty though
    C majorC
Just wandering round here without you

    C majorC        G+G           D7D7  C majorC     G+G
Oh the empty bottle it misses you and I’m the one it’s talking to


Harmonica:

G+G  CMaj9Cmaj9 c6/9  C majorC x2


  G+G      C majorC     G+G
And I don’t know which is worse
        C majorC
To wake up and see the sun
   D7D7
Or to be the one be the one
    C majorC  D MajorD   G+G
be the one that’s gone
