Start Jamming...
[Gm] [A]
[Dm]
I'm throwing away pictures that I never should have [Ab] taken in the first [D] place
And it's cold in my [G] apartment as I'm changing all the colors from the brightest red to [D] grays
Well [Bm] it's three o'clock on [G] Monday morning, I'm just hoping you're not [D] seeing his [A] face
[Bm] I've been dreading cold, can't be so [G] terrible, long enough to know [D] that it was them that took my [A] place
And I [D] hope this makes you happy now, that the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down, have even [A] broken hearts made happen down
[G] [D]
[A] [Dm]
And I'm burning all the letters hoping that I might forget her and her bad taste
[D]
[A] But she laughed as she was leaving [Dm] me, alive but barely [A] breathing as she walked out of this [E] place
[A]
[B] I knew drunk and [Bm] loaded with taste, [G] can you change yourself and not change [D] me?
I really didn't see her [A] singing through this
Then [Bm] you screamed to friends and I cried to both [G] and I poured his chain all over you
[D] Then you smiled the whole way through it
I [A] guess that [D] maybe [A] that's what I [D] hope this makes you happy now
That the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down
Have even [A] broken hearts made happen down
And I'm drinking [B] all your memories off the shelf
Cause I don't need [G] to regret anybody else
So take a [D] look at me, see what you wanna see when you get
[A] home
[Bm] Take me home, I'd rather die than [G] be with you
Take me home, you had a problem [D] with the truth
Take me home, because this happens [A] every time
I knew it would, I knew [Bm] it would
Take me home, I'd rather [G] die than be with you
Take me home, you [D] had a problem with the truth
Take me home, because this happens [A] every time
I knew it would, I knew it would
And I [D] hope this makes you happy now
That the [G] flame we had is burning out
And I hope you [D] like your pictures facing down
Have even [A] broken hearts made happen down
And I'm drinking [Bm] all your memories off the shelf
[D] [G] Cause I don't need to regret anybody else
So take [D] a look at me, see what you wanna see when you get home
