Intro: C Verse 1: C a Greek Revival that has never seen war a million eggshells on the bedroom floors Dm a dog that costs thousands, but you claim is a mutt a guitar in the corner that doesn't get played much C You always wanted to live way off the grid Then you met Rachel and the suburbs it is Dm And now there is a pram, in the hallways you pace Lulu in the wardrobe and a dream that still aches Chorus: F I can see it, the life I could've lived G But I didn't, the wife I could've been C G/B If I'd listened a little closer Am If I'd loved you a little less F Oh, I can hear it, the coffee machine G In the kitchen, the life it could've been C G/B If I'd given up the high road Am Made my peace there, in your bed F Oh, I can see it, like a nightmare, like a vision C The houses my old lovers will live in Verse 2: C An old apartment only fit for one king The signal's bad, that's why the phone never rings Dm a bookshelf full of women that you won't read if you're honest a desk that's worth more than the words you wrote on it C You think it's feng shui, all that dying bamboo You hate your neighbours, they don't care about you Dm No little tiny feet, just the fan as it whirrs No white dress in a frame 'cause you cheated on her Chorus: F I can see it, the life I could've lived G But I didn't, the wife I could've been C G/B If I'd listened a little closer Am If I'd loved you a little less F Oh, I can hear it, the coffee machine G In the kitchen, the life it could've been C G/B If I'd given up the high road Am Made my peace there, in your bed F Oh, I can see it, like a nightmare, like a vision C The houses my old lovers will live in Bridge: Dm When the only thing that it is is past F C Then the only thing you can do is laugh. G Oh, laugh Dm I paint it out in pastels and I put me in the frame F Am But I'm too big for the easel so I ruin it again G Oh, again Chorus: F Oh, I can see it, the life I could've lived G But I didn't, the wife I could've been C G/B If I'd listened a little closer Am If I'd loved you a little less F Oh, I can hear it, the coffee machine G In the kitchen, the life it could've been C G/B If I'd given up the high road Am Made my peace there, in your bed F Oh, I can see it, like a nightmare, like a vision C The houses my old lovers will live in.
