_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She said to me _ over the phone, _ _ _ _ _ she wanted to see other people. _
_ _ _ _ I thought, _ _ well then, _ _ _ look around, _ _ _ _ _ _ they're everywhere.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ Said [G] that she was confused, I thought, [D] _ _ [G] darling, [Dm] join the [D] club. _
_ _ _ _ [F] 24 years [A] old, midlife crisis. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Nowadays hits you [D] when you're young. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I hung up, she [A] called back, I hung up again. _ _
The [D] process had already started. _ _ _ _
_ This should happen quick. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I swear, I died _ inside [G] that night. _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My friend, he called, I didn't mention [A] a thing.
_ The last thing he said was, [G] be sound. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [A] Sound.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. _ _ _ _ _ _
I just thought those would be [A] such _ _ _ appropriate _ last words.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Gb] But I'm still [D] here, _ _
[Dm] _ [F] _ and [D] small, _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ so [G]
small, how could this trouble seem so big, _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ so big? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ While the palms and the breeze still blow [Dm]
green, _ _ _ and the [F] waves and the sea [D] _ _ still _ [E] absolute blue.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But the horror, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] every [Em] single thing I see is a reminder [D] of her. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Never thought I'd curse the day I met her, _ and since [Em] she's gone [D] and _ wasn't here, _ _ _
[E] who would [D] care?
_ Good would that do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[F] But I'm still [A] here.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So [G] I imagine in a month or [Am]
twelve, _ _ _ I'll be somewhere having a drink, [D] _ _ laughing at a stupid joke or just another stupid thing.
And _ _
_ _ [A] _ I can see myself stopping short, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] drifting out of the present, [D] _ _ _
[Eb] sucked by the [E] undertow and pulled [D] out deep. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
And there I am, standing, _ [D] _ _
wet [E] grass and white [D] headstones, _ all in rows.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ And in the distance, [G] there's one, _ _ [F] off on its [G] own. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So I [F] stop, kneel, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ my new [A] home.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ I picture a sober awakening, a [Eb] re-entry into this little bar scene.
[D] _ _ _
_ Sip [E] my drink till the ice hits my lip.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] Order another round.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And that's it for now. _ _ _ _
_ Sorry. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Never been too good at happy endings.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
