[D] 6 a [E].m. day after Christmas
[D] I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of coal, [G] the car seat is freezing
[D] The world is [E] sleeping, I am
[D] No
Up the [E] stairs to her apartment
[D] She is balled [G] up on the couch
[D] Mom and Dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home [E] to find us out
[Bm] And we [E] drive
[Bm] Now [E] that I have found someone
[D] I'm feeling more [A] alone
[E]
Than [Bm] I ever have [E] before
[G] [A] She's a brick and I'm drowning [G] slowly
[A] Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
[G] She's a brick and I'm drowning [G] slowly
[D]
[E] [D] [G]
[D] They call her name [G] at 7.30
[D] I pace around [G] the parking lot
And [D] I walk down to buy her flowers
Sell some gifts that [G] I got
[Bm] Can't you [E] see?
[Bm] It's not [G] me you're dying for
Now she's [D] feeling more alone
[G]
[Bm] Than she ever has before
[E]
[G] [A] She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
[G] [A] Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning [D] slowly

[G] [E]
As weeks [G] went by
It showed [D] that she was not fine
[B] [E] They told me, [G] son, it's time to [D] tell the truth
[E] And she broke [G] down
And I broke [D] down
Cause I was [E] tired [G]
of [D] lying
[G]
[D] [E]
[D] Driving back [E] to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
She's alone
