VERSE 1:
A                             C#
I took your pictures down and off the wall today
A                           C#
Every time I look at them I think of yesterday
        D    Dm                             A
And I'm sorry but it's time I pack our life away


VERSE 2:
A                          C#
I thought about you when I made the bed today
A                               C#
The left pillow untouched where your head used to lay
         D     Dm                              A
Don't be sorry, things will be better off this way


CHORUS:
A     C#  D        Dm
Don't be afraid to say how it is
A     C#  D         Dm
Don't be ashamed of crushing my dreams
A        C#   D                Dm         A
Though I feel betrayed, I'm so glad I met you
C#      D     Dm
Oh, oh, oh... (etc.)


QUICK SAX/ORGAN RIFF:
A     C#     D     Dm


VERSE 3:
A                              C#
This is the hardest thing I've had to just accept
A                           C#
Alcohol and cigarettes have filled the void you've left
        D     Dm                            A
And I'm hungry but I think I'll stay in bed today


[CHORUS]


BRIDGE:
D                    Dm
I still remember the first time I saw you
   A               C#            D   Dm
We met because the Cake show was late
D                 Dm
And you looked so beautiful
A                          E
I had to come and ask your name
                           A
I had to come and ask your name

OUTRO:
A                            C#
I never thought this was the way that this would end
A                           C#
Keep pinching myself hoping this was just a dream
               D        Dm                        A
Hope life gets better... I will be rid of you someday
