♫ Verse 1:
                 G#m                            F#
I hope there’s a deity that can absolve all the holes to which I’ve crawled
       F                             E
If the answer indeed is no, one more look before I go
       G#m                            F#
I am a one man firing squad, into the skin, shall deeply prod
       F                             E
In the shape of typing keys - oh the bullets cut to bleed
     G#m                            F#
I realize you are my wife, but your tongue is like a knife
         F                               E
One that carves into my heart, this will tear our home apart

♫ Pre-Chorus:
F#                                       B
  Well I think we’re in a bit of trouble now


♫ Chorus:
            B
We promised love that would last to the grave
                                                               E
But our lives took a turn and oh, how you’ve changed, my darling   my darling
      B
Yeah,   I realize I was partially to blame
                                                       E
But you were so, so quick to abandon my name, my darling   my darling


♫ Verse 2:
          G#m
It’s like every single promise that we ever did make
       F#
Was forgotten in an instant when you lost my name
    B                                           E
And you love him more than you love me and it’s killing me  Oh it’s killing me
       G#m
But if that was the last night that we kissed
           F#
I hope you had the realization then
       B                                 E
That I never, never, no I never wanted this
            G#m                          F#
I hope this game of cheap romance ends before I have the chance
   F                           E
To ever touch the skin of this tempting mess I’m in
         G#m                                F#
I hope I learn where wrong begins, I hope I devastate that bridge
            F                        E
Because you looked me in the eyes: “48 hours, love, goodbye”
            G#m                                F#
And this is breeding every type of hate that I never wished to create
       F                                 E
What a horrid way to set the tone for an awful life alone


♫ Pre-Chorus:
F#                                             B
  Well I don’t think we’ll get out of this one now


♫ Chorus:
            B

                                                               E
But our lives took a turn and oh, how you’ve changed, my darling   my darling
      B
Yeah,   I realize I was partially to blame
                                                       E
But you were so, so quick to abandon my name, my darling   my darling

And you love him more than you love me and it’s killing me  Oh it’s killing me
       G#m
But if that was the last night that we kissed
           F#
I hope you had the realization then
       B                    E
That I never, never, wanted this


♫ Bridge:
          B
I’m gonna pray you see the morning light
          B
I’m gonna force myself to open up my eyes
          E
I’m gonna pledge to stop telling myself lies
          E
I’m gonna tell myself it’s gonna be alright
          B
I’m gonna start again in an empty house (gonna start again in an empty house)
          B
I’m gonna find a purpose to sing about (gonna find a purpose to sing about)
          E
