Verse 1:

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

But I wouldn’t call it

Chorus 1:

 A         E          F#m
Oh, I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship
         D
You’re a work of art, something delicate
A
You’re my mother’s son
E
You’re my favorite song
F#m         D
I’m the things you hide

When you turn the lights back on
A            E
I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation
     F#m
You’re a getaway vacation
     D
That I hoped would bring salvation

It did not
A
And it’s killing me
   E
You were the only person
      F#m
Who could understand
          D
The things I think inside my head
          N.C.
And somehow you forgot

Interlude:
A E F#m D

Verse 2:
A
I dated Audrey Hepburns
 E
Just to be Paul Varjack
    F#m
And I picked up all the paychecks
   D
But I never called them back
A         E
I guess I wasn’t fooling anybody
    F#m
But I never knew myself
      D
As well as I knew how to act
A            E
And I know it’s not my business
            F#m
And I know it’s not my right
           D
But you crawl into my bed

In the middle of the night
A           E
And you ask me not to leave you
            F#m
But you don’t ask me to stay
          D
And I never can say no
              A
When you look at me like that

Chorus 2:

       E          F#m
I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship
         D
You’re a work of art, something delicate
A
You’re my mother’s son
E
No, you’re my favorite song
F#m         D
I’m the things you hide

When you turn the lights back on
A            E
I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation
     F#m
That you wouldn’t take the time
      D
To give to anyone at all
    A       E
I’m a one, or two or three page explanation
      F#m
That you wouldn’t take the time
      D
To give to anyone

Anyone at all

Interlude:
A E F#m D x2

Bridge:
A      E
Are you overseas now?
      F#m
With the drugs
       D
And all the men
      A
Or are you dead
          E
Or hiding in your loft
       F#m      D
Behind your papers and your pens
      A
Just how we met
       E         F#m
I never did believe a word they said
       D
The bluest blues
       A
The reddest reds
       E          F#m
I never did believe a word they said
       D
They made it up
     A
Even the end
