Lyrics

[Intro]
| C/G | Fmaj7/C | C/G | Fmaj7/C |

[Verse 1]
C/G
   Every night, I saw you there
Fmaj7/C
       In your old wicker chair
        C/G
Singing,   ooh
Fmaj7/C C/G
           You were wrong, I was right
Fmaj7/C
       Didn't matter in a fight
        C/G
Singing,   ooh
Fmaj7/C C/G Fmaj7/C

[Verse 2]
C/G
   Coffee mug, filled it up
Fmaj7/C
       Always knew what it was
        C/G
Singing,   ooh
Fmaj7/C C/G
           Been on your side for years
Fmaj7/C
       You could never love without crying
C/G   Fmaj7/C
   Ooh

[Bridge]
Dm            Fmaj7/C
  Is she dead?       Is she fine?
C/G Dm          Fmaj7/C
      Every day,       every night
C/G Fmaj7/C C/G Fmaj7/C

[Verse 3]
C/G                   Fmaj7/C
   Fate has dealt me a       lonely blow
       C/G
I said,   ooh
Fmaj7/C C/G
           Tried to help, but only hurt
Fmaj7/C
       In the end, I made it worse
        C/G   Fmaj7/C
Singing,   ooh

[Bridge]
Dm            Fmaj7/C
  Is she dead?       Is she fine?
C/G Dm          Fmaj7/C           C/G
      Every day,       every night

                | C/G | Fmaj7/C |
| C/G | Fmaj7/C | C/G | Fmaj7/C |
| C/G | Fmaj7/C |

[Verse 4]
C/G
   Give back my keys,
Fmaj7/C
       give back my chair
C/G                              Fmaj7/C
   Take back those clothes you always left on the floor

[Bridge]
                | C/G | Fmaj7/C |
| C/G | Fmaj7/C |

[Verse 5]
C/G
   You drove me wild,
Fmaj7/C
       drove me insane
C/G                                 Fmaj7/C
   Drank the whole bottle and forgot       my name

[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm                    G
All  I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Dm
Finally,
                     G
I can see you as the leader of the landslide

[Chorus]
C/G    E
   She left, she left,
Am    Fmaj7/C          C/G
  the writing's on the wall
E                 Am  Fmaj7/C        C/G
Please believe me,  I smell  the alcohol
    E           Am        Fmaj7/C            C/G
The only thing I  know is that   we're in too   deep
    E                Am
And maybe when she's dead and gone,
     Fmaj7/C
I'll get    some sleep

[Verse 6]
C/G                 Fmaj7/C
   You blamed it all       on your kids
C/G                       Fmaj7/C
   We were young, we were innocent
C/G
   You told me a lie,
Fmaj7/C
       fuck you for that
C/G                            Fmaj7/C
   Fuck all your pride and fuck       all your prayers

[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm                           G
And all  this time, I waited like a fool,
and for the first time
Dm
Finally,
                     G
I can see you as the leader of the landslide

[Chorus]
C/G    E
   She left, she left,
Am    Fmaj7/C          C/G
  the writing's on the wall
E
Please believe me,
Am      Fmaj7/C         C/G
  don't answer when she calls
    E           Am        Fmaj7/C             C/G
The only thing I  know is that   we're in too deep
    E                Am
And maybe when she's dead and gone,
     Fmaj7/C
I'll get    some sleep

[Verse 7]
C/G
Out there on my own,
      Em
I was feeling so alone
          Am              F
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
   C/G
Fading by degrees,
      Em
I was shaking in the knees
         Am              F
In the aftermath of this broken glass

[Outro]
Fmaj7/C
       Oh, oh, oh
