G (320003@1)            Em7                  BmAll (x24432@1)around the room your things are placed

And next to you he fills the space
G (320003@1)        Em7               Bm (x24432@1)And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face

G (320003@1)             Em7                Bm (x24432@1) Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
          G (320003@1)        Em7             BmAccepting (x24432@1)enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
       G (320003@1)                    Em7             BmYou're (x24432@1)vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects

G (320003@1)           Em7                 Bm (x24432@1)It all makes sense - with each offense, you wanted to believe him
