E minor 7Em7                 D MajorD
Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races
E minor 7Em7                  D MajorD
One more night of running my mind over lost embraces
E minor 7Em7
The steps you made when you walked away
D MajorD             G+G
Still frozen in the ground
G+G         A augmentedA   G+G
Oh missie how you let me down
G+G         A augmentedA   G+G
Oh missie how you let me down
G+G         A augmentedA   B minorBm
Oh missie how you let me down
E minor 7Em7           A augmentedA
And lies won't break my fall
E minor 7Em7         G+G
Lies won't break my fall

E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD
Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be
E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD
The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me
E minor 7Em7           D MajorD                G+G
Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around
G+G         A augmentedA    G+G
Oh missie how you let me down
G+G         A augmentedA    B minorBm
Oh missie how you let me down

A augmentedA                   F# minorF#m
For far too long you kept me waiting
                   G+G
Reaching out into empty air
A augmentedA                    F# minorF#m
Even now you'd never say it face to face
     G+G
That you really don't care
    A augmentedA
And if you never liked pulling teeth
   D MajorD               G+G         B minorBm
Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair
E minorEm
E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD
Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did
E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD
I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid
E minor 7Em7
Or maybe I should just take a match
D MajorD                G+G
And burn the whole thing to the ground

G+G        A augmentedA    G+G
Oh missie how you let me down
G+G        A augmentedA    G+G
Oh missie how you let me down
G+G        A augmentedA    B minorBm
Oh missie how you let me down
E minor 7Em7           A augmentedA
And lies won't break my fall

E minor 7Em7       G+G
Lies won't break my fall
