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!
