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
