Intro played with -3- -2- and -0- on B-string:
A / / /  | Amaj / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | A / / /  | 

A                       D/F#m
... He always gets so mad  ... at things you laugh at
Dm9                              A
... "Don't get so worked up", you'd say
A                       D/F#m
... But on the back deck   ... you admit that
Dm9                                        A
you haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway

         E                 A
And so I say - "That could change"

Bm *                               E7
... I noticed how you waste no time
            A *             D
Making your way across the room
Bm                              E                  A
... You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you

Bm *                            E7 
... And it isn't no coincidence
          A *                D
Where you finally choose to stand
        Bm               E            A
I guess soon you will be leaving your man


Amaj / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | Dmsus2 / / /  | A / / /  | x2


A                    D/F#m
... It's a sweet smile  ... and then a denial
Dm9                             A
... Hey, you are just trying to be nice
A                        D/F#m
... But there is a meaning  ... to every fleeting
Dm9                      A
action you unconsciously decide

                 E                A
The clocks, they chime - Now it's time

Bm *                               E7
... I know you try and play it cool
                   A *                      D
But there are some thoughts you just can't hide
Bm                       E                 A
... Only in your closest friends do you confide

Bm *                                    E7
... The way you say you'll be seeing me
              A *       D
Oh, like it's so offhand
        Bm               E            A
I guess soon you will be leaving your man


A / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | Dmsus2 / / /  | A / / /  | x2


Bm *                             E7
... You stare at me so boldly now
            A *               D
You have no lack of confidence
Bm                             E            A
... It's just those lessons on subtlety you missed

Bm *                             E7
... I know you dream of saving me
              A *                   D
Like I'm some plane that you could land
    Bm                     E            A
But when you fly you'll be leaving your man
