Intro: G/B Csus2 G G/B Csus2 G D G/B Csus2 G G/B Csus2 G D Verse: G Started out like it always starts Em I tried to hold my hunger back Am you don’t anticipate a broken heart D can’t see nothing but the track G a diamond earring in a bowery bed Em kicked your shoes across the floor Am you regret the things that went unsaid D Or have you heard it all before
Chorus: D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner D Cadd9 G D I need to be alone for all my days D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor B/G Csus2 G D But that’s your way Verse: G And it ended like it always ends Em Somebody crying on the phone Am You tell each other you can still be friends D You both know you’re on your own G My own behavior is a shock to me Em I never thought I’d have the nerve G I hope you’re sleeping through the night, Eileen D I hope they’re grading on the curve Chorus: D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner D Cadd9 G D I need to be alone for all my days D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor B/G Csus2 G D But that’s your way Interlude: G/B Csus2 G D x4 Verse: G Somebody broke my heart once Em and I was useless for a week Am I didn’t leave my apartment D I didn’t eat; I didn’t sleep G But then I found the letter she wrote Em against a wall behind the bed Am Said forever’s a dead man’s joke D and that’s the only thing it said Chorus: D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner D Cadd9 G D I need to be alone for all my days D Cadd9 G D Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor B/G Csus2 G But that’s your way B/G Csus2 G D But that’s your way
