walk K Street [G] to the store
And [D] they say we're that great as a girl You don't [G] get drunk on red wine or fight
no [D] more I don't see [G] you anymore
Except for [A] hospital The friends I made still have you in [Bm] their
heads You come swimming [D] into view
And I'm hanging [Bm] on like I [D] always used to do
So after [Bm] you so lied me I often [D] feel for you
