[G] [F#m]
[D] [G] [F#m] She was [D] once mine, that [G] smile that shines from the glossy [D] magazine that's stuck inside
the Sunday [G] Times.
[D] She was so sweet on [G] Christmas Eve, [D] with the snow set deep when we went walking through [G] the pines.
[D] I'd just been [Em] farming her first offer had [G] arrived and the new year would see [D] her flying
far away from [A] me, though I didn't know it at [D] the time.
[G] [F#]
[D] [G] [F#m] Without [D] stretched hands, now she [G] commands [D] a famous figure for [A] every picture.
And she [D] stands out strong and she [G] demands that they [D] deliver.
Yeah, she's [A] a fixture.
[Em] It's a mixture of dumb jealousy [Bm] and fear that I might feel should she [D] appear, just like
it hasn't been [A] three years.
And [Em] there's a distance to her voice [G] over the phone and that's because she [D] stands alone
while I'm still sitting [A] here.
[Em] Girl, it's here, another quiet [Bm] night, all the way until [D] another indistinguishable [A] day
[Em] arrives outside where the light's even and bright, [D] where my life's sweet as it's light,
they disappoint me just [A] gliding softly [Em] by.
You [D] won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees, some Christmas Eve, [A] some God who's
[B] kind enough to set [Em] aside.
Although [D] I love you too, I'm proud of you, God knows I'm feeling really stupid [A] now, forever
having said [D] goodbye.
[G] [Bm] [D]
[G] [F#m] During [D] the fight, I said [G] yeah right, [D] when you insisted that I'd visit [G] that shoot right.
[D] Now I know you're working hard so I never hear from you [G] and that's fine, you look the [D] same
on TV as when [G] you were [D] mine.
[Em] I walk in from the kitchen [Bm] and I finger the [A] remote control.
I [Em] watch you from the distance, you [Bm] go walking through the [A]
terminal.
I [Em] remember every instance when you stunned me, oh you're so lovely, oh you're so smart.
So go turn their [G] heads, go knock them dead, go break [D] their hearts.
[G] [Bm] Go [D] break their hearts.
[G] [F#m] They didn't [D] break their hearts.
[G] No they didn't.
