Verse 1:
A augmentedA
You clean the bathroom
E MajorE
On your hands and on your knees
F# minorF#m
Wearing latex gloves
D MajorD
That you borrow from her
A augmentedA E MajorE
I don’t know what you think you’re doing
F# minorF#m
But you’re doing it for free
D MajorD
Do you know even what you’re doing anymore?
A augmentedA E MajorE
I know it’s not my business
F# minorF#m
And I know it’s not my right
D MajorD
But the expression on your face
A augmentedA
Looks so awkward and contrived
E MajorE
But I know it’s not my business
F# minorF#m
And I know it’s not my right
D MajorD
And I don’t know what to call it
But I wouldn’t call it

A augmentedA
You’re my mother’s son
E MajorE
You’re my favorite song
F# minorF#m D MajorD
I’m the things you hide
When you turn the lights back on
A augmentedA E MajorE
I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation
F# minorF#m
You’re a getaway vacation
D MajorD
That I hoped would bring salvation
It did not
A augmentedA
And it’s killing me
E MajorE
You were the only person
F# minorF#m
Who could understand
D MajorD
The things I think inside my head
N.C.
And somehow you forgot

A augmentedA
I dated Audrey Hepburns
E MajorE
Just to be Paul Varjack
F# minorF#m
And I picked up all the paychecks
D MajorD
But I never called them back
A augmentedA E MajorE
I guess I wasn’t fooling anybody
F# minorF#m
But I never knew myself
D MajorD
As well as I knew how to act
A augmentedA E MajorE
And I know it’s not my business
F# minorF#m
And I know it’s not my right
D MajorD
But you crawl into my bed
In the middle of the night
A augmentedA E MajorE
And you ask me not to leave you
F# minorF#m
But you don’t ask me to stay
D MajorD
And I never can say no
A augmentedA
When you look at me like that
Chorus 2:
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship

I’m a one, or two or three page explanation

That you wouldn’t take the time
D MajorD
To give to anyone
Anyone at all

Are you overseas now?
F# minorF#m
With the drugs

And all the men
A augmentedA
Or are you dead
E MajorE
Or hiding in your loft
F# minorF#m D MajorD
Behind your papers and your pens
A augmentedA
Just how we met
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I never did believe a word they said
D MajorD
The bluest blues
A augmentedA
The reddest reds
E MajorE F# minorF#m
I never did believe a word they said
D MajorD
They made it up
A augmentedA
Even the end
