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