Intro
      Progression x 4 (4th time he skips the E/C# and plays the E twice into the A)
      E5     E5     A5     B5
      E5     E5     A5     B5
      E5     E5     A5     B5

              E5                E5               A5            B5
     Can't pretend that all is well it's like I'm haunted by a ghost
               E5              E5                  A5              B5
     There are times I cannot speak your name but I catch it in my throat
            E5                 E5             A5            B5
     And if I don't sing this song it's out of fear of sour notes             (not sure
if that's 'of' OR 'or')

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

        E5           E5       A5            B5
     Oh I feel like a miser Oh I feel low and mean
          E5              E5            A5               B5
     For accusing you of stealing what I offered you for free
           E5           E5                  A5                 B5
     Oh it beggars the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

        E5                     E5                  A5               B5
     Oh I don't know who you're with these days might be with someone new
                E5             E5              A5              B5
     And if you are I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do
         E5                 E5           A5             B5
     But whoever makes you happy it don't really matter who
                E5         E5  A5                 B5
     I've got a new lover now I hope you've got a lover too

     Progression x 4 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

              E5           E5               A5                 B5
     Praise the water under bridges praise the time we say we'll heal
                E5           E5               A5                B5
     Praise the fonder that still grows on the absent heart and fields
               E5                  E5      A5             B5
     Praise be to this pain these days it's all I seem to feel                  (not
sure on lyric?  all the same i fear? all the same i feel?)

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

           E5             E5    A5             B5
     Perhaps the fault was mine perhaps I just ignored
                  E5            E5          A5              B5
     Who you were always gonna be instead of who I took you for
               E5                  E5       A5          B5
     I've been treated worse it's true still I expected more

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

         E5                   E5          A5               B5
     But I will not chase your shadow as you go from room to room
              E5                 E5            A5              B5
     Dropping handkerchiefs and daggers smoking guns and other clues
              E5                E5        A5               B5
     For what someone did with someone and who did what to who
                E5         E5  A5                 B5
     I've got a new lover now I hope you've got a lover too.

     Progression x 4
             E5         E5    A5                 B5
     I got a new lover now she knows just what I need
            E5              E5          A5               B5
     When I wake up in the night she can read me back my dreams
             E5                    E5           A5                 B5
     And she loves them cause she never needs to tell me what they mean

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

           E5         E5  A5                   B5
     I got a new lover now I know that she's not mine
           E5            E5             A5                B5
     And I only want to hold her I don't need to read her mind
             E5               E5           A5            B5
     And she only looks like you when she's in a certain light

       Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

       E5                 E5                  A5            B5

          E5                E5        A5                B5
     Can give you what you need like i couldn't seem to do
                   E5               E5                A5          B5
     But if you're sad and you are lonesome and you've got nobody true
            E5          E5      A5                    B5
     I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me happy too.

     Progression x 1 ( E5     E5     A5     B5 )

          E5          E5      A5                    B5
