Intro:

Em  D  Em  D
           

Verse:
Em
  I should know better than to mess with you
D
 When I know only that the best will do
Em                                  D
 And when you whisper to me softly, tenderly, and sweetly
"Nothing more that you can do"
Verse:
Em                                        D
  I think I lied about the people that we used to be
Young, dumb, and pretty
Em
Sinners in the city
Ain't it just a pity
D
You could put me out to dry?
Chorus:
G
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
Bm                                D
  Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
                                   A
When you're standing on a land mine.
Wait for the explosion
G
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
Bm                                D
  Come on. I'm just whipping the wind
                       A
Healing in the sunshine.
                      Em  D  Em  D
Until we're close again

Verse:
Em                                        D
   I'm running, while you're standing in place
                                        Em
I know that you're worth more than the chase
                                 D
You're slapping the smile off my face
I guess I like wasting time
Em
  And you're changing with the weather
    D
Whenever we're together
                             Em
I still like dancing in the rain
And then the winds change
D
Know I'll never be the same
Chorus:
G
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
Bm                                D
  Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
                                   A
When you're standing on a land mine.
Wait for the explosion
G
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
Bm                                D
  Come on. I'm just whipping the wind
                       A
Healing in the sunshine.
Until we're close again
Em  F#m G   A
Em  F#m G   A

Bridge:
Em
Love me or leave me
      F#m
Just say that you need me
    G                      A
Or don't, and I'll just be waving
Em
Lost in your breeze
     F#m
And all that I need
        A
Is your saving
Chorus:
G                                       Bm
  Don't leave me hanging on a clothesline.
                                D
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
                                   A
When you're standing on a land mine.
Don't wait for the explosion
G                                    Bm
  You left me hanging on a clothesline.
                                D
Come on. I'm just whipping the wind
                                   A
And I'll be standing in the sunshine
Until we're close again
Chorus:
G                                     Bm
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
                                D
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
                                  A
When you're standing on a land mine
Wait for the explosion
G                                     Bm
  You left me hanging on a clothesline
                                D
Come on. I'm just whipping the wind
                                  A
And I'll be healing in the sunshine
