VERSE 1 (rhythm guitar)

Ab
I've got this notion, 
           C#       Ab
that moving out is better, 

Than this commotion, 
           C#     Ab
if she complains I wont let her, 


C#              G#
Tell me what to do 
          Bb     C#       G#
and when she wants to argue 
Bb           C#            E5
ill remind her that were through 



VERSE 2

Ab
A late reminder, 
            C#          Ab
and post-it notes and markers, 

Ab                                C#        Ab
were it not kinder her black eye would be darker, 


C#                   G#            Bb       C#         G#
And all these brown boxes havent helped me move one bit 
Bb            C#           E5
in half-empty rooms they sit, 



CHORUS 1

G#     C#                   Bb            
Stay thats where they will stay 
C#             G#
I could never say, 
C#             Bb
I would never say, 
C#
"This is over" 



VERSE 3

Ab
Ive got this cupid 
       C#           Ab
humble from the marker 
                       C#            Ab
Its pretty stupid, but none-the-less ill pack it 


C#                    G#
and this boxcutters too dull, 
          Bb      C#     G#
other wise id end it all, 
Bb          C#              E5
theres still boxes in the hall, 



CHORUS 2

G#        C#                     Bb
And stay, thats where they will stay, 
C#              G#     C#        Bb
I could never place any other blame, 
    G#      C#         Bb
And how could you even go, 
     C#           G#          C#
on living if its so, unintentional, 
Bb               (end with Intro riff)
I, Lied, to, you
