C majorC G+G C majorC FF A minorAm G+G C majorC
Verse 1:
C majorC G+G C majorC FF
I stood in the place where you fucked me and thought about how I'd never see you again
C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G
I still sleep in the room where you dumped me, voices still in the walls and I'll bring home new friends
C majorC G+G C majorC FF
Gotta shake off these nasty addictions, to gratification and self-flagellation
A minorAm G+G
It's too late in the evening and it's too late in general
FF C majorC G+G
I miss having meaning and a distraction from myself
C majorC G+G C majorC FF
Want to be struck by new love's lightning all fucked up dripping wet and frightening
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC G+G
Or just have something that leaves me smiling to myself as I walk back home
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G C majorC
But I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord
A minorAm G+G C majorC
And I was less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford
A minorAm G+G
And you were less like your old self and more like your mother
FF C majorC G+G
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others
A minorAm G+G C majorC
You are less like a lover and more like a landlord
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G C majorC FF
Said I'll be your emergency contact if you kiss me when you get back
A minorAm G+G C majorC
I called you, I had to, went straight to your message bank
C majorC G+G
Wanted to make up for a lost time, make up for a lost cause
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G C majorC
Would've stood tall, but for once in my life I wasn't the one who pushed for the fall
C majorC G+G C majorC FF
So one of these days I'm gonna drop dead and you'll only remember the nice things I said
A minorAm G+G
So put your rose-coloured glasses on, pretend you're fine until I'm gone
FF C majorC G+G
And you can do whatever the fuck you want
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G C majorC
And I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord
A minorAm G+G C majorC
And you'd become less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford
A minorAm G+G
And you were less of your old self and more like your mother
FF C majorC G+G
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others
A minorAm G+G C majorC
I was less like a lover and more like a landlord
Verse 3:
C majorC G+G G+G
I still sleep in the room where you dumped me
C majorC G+G G+G
Write songs about how I'm never speaking to you again
Shouldn't make any difference, surroundings don't influence
The person that I think I am x4:
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G C majorC
