Verse:
E
I think that being in love with me felt like a job to you,
A
not something you really wanted but just something you had to do,
C#m
so you complete your tasks, you do your chores, take out the trash and sweep the floors,
A B
and a job well done is kind of fulfilling, but nothing feels as good as going home
Pre-Chorus:
E
And you gave me a two-week notice, even if you didn’t say it explicitly,
A
you gave me a two-week warning, you didn’t have to tell me- I knew that you would leave,
C#m
for better hours or better pay, better management at a better place,
A
and if retail has taught me anything, if people wanna go, you should let them go
Chorus:
E
Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,
A
a silent resignation, God- that’s just like you,
C#m
you’re a no-call no-show kinda guy, doing just what you gotta do to get by,
A B E
and if you wanted to freelance I don’t know why you ever applied to a 9 to 5
Verse:
E
And so I took bereavement, when your love for me died,
A
I was never any good at loss prevention, I keep you if I tried,
C#m
I’m overworked and underpaid, and you used me to boost your resume,
A B
so it’s probably for the better if I lock up alone
Pre-Chorus:
E
And you gave me a two-week notice, even if you didn’t say it explicitly,
A
you gave me a two-week warning, you didn’t have to tell me- I knew that you would leave,
C#m
for better hours or better pay, better management at a better place,
A
and if retail has taught me anything, if people wanna go, you should let them go
Chorus:
E
Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,
A
a silent resignation, God- that’s just like you,
C#m
you’re a no-call no-show kinda guy, doing just what you gotta do to get by,
A B
and if you wanted to freelance I don’t know why you ever applied to a 9 to 5
Link:
E
to a 9-5
Bridge:
C#m
I don’t need to know
B
why you wanted to go,
A
just that you didn’t want to
F#7
stay,
A
but it’s okay
B
Because
E
you gave me a two-week notice,
A
you gave me a two-week notice,
C#m
you gave me a two-week notice,
A B
you gave me, you gave me,you gave me...
Chorus:
E
Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,
A
a silent resignation, God- that’s just like you,
C#m
you’re a no-call no-show kinda guy, doing just what you gotta do to get by,

A C#m B A E
