Verse 1:
BB
She's got her mothers pride but not her strength
AbmAbm
And the length she'll go to win an argument
D#mD#m C# minorC#m
Is long enough but not strong enough for me
E MajorE
There's no reasoning to these things
E minorEm
You know the hurt is lasting...
Chorus:
BB
So I
AbmAbm D#mD#m
Gave myself to the sure things
C# minorC#m
The simple and the bored things
BB
In my
AbmAbm
Wasted wealth
D#mD#m
On the bored things
C# minorC#m E MajorE BB
Those entertaining mornings where I can't see past the door
F#F# E MajorE
When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor
BB
And she's rifling through her drawers
F#F# E MajorE
For a pretty little underthing that'll make me beg for more
C# minorC#m D#mD#m
You know she's got a busy day and I'd really love to stay
E MajorE
But I got shows to stop and pills to pop so I really must be going babe

Verse 2:
BB AbmAbm
Well I'm wasted on fidelity as I edge upon insanity
D#mD#m C# minorC#m
It's just been a battering rhapsody for me
E MajorE F#F# AbmAbm
I'll take lacy covered solace in the hope she might promise all the things that she had mentioned
E minorEm
You can't imagine the potential
Chorus:
BB
So I
