Intro:
Dm Em C

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

      Bm                                 F#m
I can picture you inside some stranger's house,
F#m
inside some stranger's bed --
       A
you're trying to seem mysterious,
    E
the covers pulled over your head.
     A7              D
It's all right, lady liberty,
              G                                D
it's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me.


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

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


           A7            D
Yeah, it's alright, lady liberty
              G                                D
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me


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

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


Outro:
Dm         Em                C
There is a bathroom down the hall
Dm         Em                C
There is a bathroom down the hall
      Dm             Em          C
And I guess I didn't know you at all
  Dm             Em          C
I guess I didn't know you at all

     Em
Lady liberty, liberty, liberty
                   Dm
Maybe it's time to leave
