Intro:
DmDm E minorEm C majorC

Verse:
DmDm      E minorEm       C majorC
You can wash out your lying eyes
DmDm   E minorEm        C majorC
in the bathroom down the hall.
DmDm    E minorEm       C majorC
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
 DmDm       E minorEm     C majorC
I guess I didn't know you at all.

   B minorBm                 F# minorF#m
I can picture you inside some stranger's house,
F# minorF#m
inside some stranger's bed --
    A augmentedA
you're trying to seem mysterious,
  E MajorE
the covers pulled over your head.
   A7A7       D MajorD
It's all right, lady liberty,
       G+G                D MajorD
it's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me.

DmDm         E minorEm         C majorC
You say you've been used, you've been betrayed
DmDm         E minorEm        C majorC
Yeah, and that old bed's been newly made
DmDm       E minorEm        C majorC
You just stick around awhile with me
DmDm      E minorEm        C majorC
Until you're strong enough to leave

       B minorBm
Because I can picture you the first time
  F# minorF#m
You decide to spend the night
      A augmentedA
You wonder if you should give me a call
  E MajorE
And ask me if it's alright


      A7A7      D MajorD
Yeah, it's alright, lady liberty
       G+G                D MajorD
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me


A minorAm            E minorEm    DmDm
Don't call me or send me any more letters, baby.
A minorAm                E minorEm
I just can't stand to see your hand
               A minorAm
writing things that you don't mean.
A minorAm         E minorEm      DmDm
I waited, our faded love growing even more faded.
A minorAm                E minorEm
The shades were down, I faced the wall,
E minorEm
and I could hear you breathing.

DmDm     E minorEm        C majorC
I tried to bring us back to life
DmDm    E minorEm      C majorC
I gave my heart so many times
DmDm     E minorEm       C majorC
And was it worth it after all?
DmDm     E minorEm        C majorC
There is a bathroom down the hall


Outro:
DmDm     E minorEm        C majorC
There is a bathroom down the hall
DmDm     E minorEm        C majorC
There is a bathroom down the hall
   DmDm       E minorEm     C majorC
And I guess I didn't know you at all
 DmDm       E minorEm     C majorC
I guess I didn't know you at all

   E minorEm
Lady liberty, liberty, liberty
          DmDm
Maybe it's time to leave
