To remind you you used [E] to be When life was something brand new
[A] _ Cause now you sleep a little lighter [C#m] at night And you wake up when the sky [Bm] gets a light
And crawl into the [E] kitchen at dawn And tell yourself [G] it's alright
[D] _ You swore you didn't want strings [C#m] attached And to be tethered to the [E] telephone
[Bm] But now there's no one here to [E] talk to _ And you prefer [B] to sleep [D] alone

_ [A] _ _ _ When you had a new tattoo
[C#m] _ _ _ And you were only 22 [Bm] _ _ And you had a hole [E] in your shirt
But there was nothing that you [B] couldn't do [A] _ Now you're standing in the [C#m] vestibule
_ Wondering how they got the best [Em] of you [Bm] _ Now that you do your own laundry
[E] _ _ Now that [G#m] there's always something [D] pressing you
_ You swore you didn't want strings [C#m] attached And [A] to be tethered to the [E] telephone
[Bm] _ But now there's no one here to talk [E] to _ And you prefer to sleep alone
