VERSE 1

Cmaj7         B7      Em
I read in the paper today
            G               Cmaj7     B7
It's been a record year for rainfall
             Em                           G
And you were leaning against the bathroom wall
        Cmaj7        B7
In your lonely dress
         Em         G   Cmaj7  B7
Was your only dress

Em  G  Cmaj7

Cmaj7   B7
stand accusing
Em
across
        G              Cmaj7   B7
I got a temper set for tender
Em                                   G
And you were shrugging it off like a feather
       Cmaj7   B7
Saying "oh...
                       Em        G  Cmaj7
Would you look at this weather"

CHORUS

Cmaj7      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?
      G                   Cmaj7
Is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away
           G             Cmaj7
And in the annuls of the empire
       B7
Did it look this gray
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the falllllll
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the falllllll

Em G Cmaj7 B7

VERSE 2

Cmaj7     B7        Em
So rake your thumbnail across
    G              Cmaj7   B7
The stretch of the patina
Em                G
Revealing a proserpina
     Cmaj7       B7
In a low recline
     Em              G  Cmaj7
In a steep decline

CHORUS

Cmaj7      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?
      G                   Cmaj7
Is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away
           G             Cmaj7
And in the annuls of the empire
       B7
Did it look this gray?
Does it look so gray?
Does it always look so gray
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the faaaallllll?
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the faaaallllll?


THE END!
