      So this is how it ends, in separate beds.
                D             D9    D
The wall between us.
       D7           C7M/G        G
And this is how it dies.    Separate our lives.
                  D              D9   D     
And hope it heals us.
  D7                       Am          Am7    Am     A74 (1)
I chose the love of strangers.
  F#7                   Bm    
I chose the fickle crowd.
             A74 (2)   Em        Em7   Em
And the woman      I wagered,
         C/G                  G               D       
Won?t look at me right now, not now.

           D7                    C/G
I know I?ve been like a house cat. Give me this, give me that.
                         G
And I know I?ll be okay.
D         D7                Am                                               A74 (1)
     But beg for my attention, or work for my affection.
         F#7                     Bm
I just stare and walk away.
A74 (2)    Em               Em7    Em                                
How can I     show you?
  A74 (2)        Em      Em7    Em
I do what    I could do.
      C/G            G                          D
To show you I adore you, Olivia.

E                 F
     And the days go by.
E                             F 
     In a supplicated style     
G                         F
     Hand me the anodynes.
        C7M/G
Oh, Olivia.
F      G6
I still love you
Bb     F                  Em      A
And I know I will, till     I die
F             C7M/G
And this feels like
F              G6
Common madness.
Bb           F
Why this wasted life?
Em          A 
Come to me.

G        A        G        F#m
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
F#m  G         A
Mmm mmm mmm

G        A        G        F#m
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
F#m  G         A       D
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

               D7                C/G   
The photographer is lucky. 
                                   G
Does he even know my name?
D                  D7                      Am      Am7   Am  A74 (1)
       Does he know I?d give it all up?
     F#7              Bm  
If I only could be him.
         A74 (2)     Em         Em7    Em                                     
But I used all       my chances,             
          A74 (2)  Em    Em7 Em
And a few          after that.
             C/G                    G                       D
Now I?m floating in the ashes, Olivia.

E                     F
      And the days go by.
E                               F 
      In a supplicated style    
G                          F
      Hand me the anodynes.
         C7M/G
Oh, Olivia.
F        G6
I still love you
Bb      F                 Em       A
And I know I will, till      I die
F            C7M/G
And this feels like
F             G6
Common madness.
Bb           F
Why this wasted life?
Em          A 
Come to me.
