VERSE:

         G
Well the pills I got they ask me lets go out for a while
        G                                   D7
And the knives up in the kitchen are all too dull to smile
             G
Yeah and the sun it tries to warn me
         C
Boy those wings are made of wax
          C              G
While the things I do to kill me
            D7
They just tell me to relax

       G
But oh... cinderella
                                              C
All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms
   run down:  G
I’m not the fellow
                                            D7
To protect you or to keep you from all your harm
    G            C         G
And I don’t know which is worse
               C
To wake up and see the sun
      D7
Or to be the one be the one
       C   D       G
Be the one that’s gone


Harmonica:

G   Cmaj9  c6/9   C  x2


        G                C     G
And the empty bottle it misses you
         G                     C            G
Yeah and I’m the one that it’s talking to
         G                     C         G
And with you and I just barely strangers
      D*
I’m pretty much just left the fool
                  G                   Gsus2
Damn... don’t the streets look empty though
       C
Just wandering round here without you

       C               G                      D7    C          G
Oh the empty bottle it misses you and I’m the one it’s talking to


Harmonica:

G   Cmaj9  c6/9   C  x2


    G            C         G
And I don’t know which is worse
               C
To wake up and see the sun
      D7
Or to be the one be the one
       C   D      G
be the one that’s gone
