D5       D5         D5            D5    D5

D5        D5           C5    G5
      So this is how it ends, in separate beds.
                D5             D5    D5
The wall between us.
       D5           C5        G5
And this is how it dies.    Separate our lives.
                  D5              D5   D5     
And hope it heals us.
  D5                       A5          A5    A5     A5 (1)
I chose the love of strangers.
  F#5                   B5    
I chose the fickle crowd.
             A5 (2)   E5        E5   E5
And the woman      I wagered,
         C5                  G5               D5       
Won?t look at me right now, not now.

           D5                    C5
I know I?ve been like a house cat. Give me this, give me that.
                         G5
And I know I?ll be okay.
D5         D5                A5                                               A5 (1)
     But beg for my attention, or work for my affection.
         F#5                     B5
I just stare and walk away.
A5 (2)    E5               E5    E5                                
How can I     show you?
  A5 (2)        E5      E5    E5
I do what    I could do.
      C5            G5                          D5
To show you I adore you, Olivia.

E5                 F5
     And the days go by.
E5                             F5 
     In a supplicated style     
G5                         F5
     Hand me the anodynes.
        C5
Oh, Olivia.
F5      G5
I still love you
Bb5     F5                  E5      A5
And I know I will, till     I die
F5             C5
And this feels like
F5              G5
Common madness.
Bb5           F5
Why this wasted life?
E5          A5 
Come to me.

G5        A5        G5        F#5
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
F#5  G5         A5
Mmm mmm mmm

G5        A5        G5        F#5
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
F#5  G5         A5       D5
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

               D5                C5   
The photographer is lucky. 
                                   G5
Does he even know my name?
D5                  D5                      A5      A5   A5  A5 (1)
       Does he know I?d give it all up?
     F#5              B5  
If I only could be him.
         A5 (2)     E5         E5    E5                                     
But I used all       my chances,             
          A5 (2)  E5    E5 E5
And a few          after that.
             C5                    G5                       D5
Now I?m floating in the ashes, Olivia.

E5                     F5
      And the days go by.
E5                               F5 
      In a supplicated style    
G5                          F5
      Hand me the anodynes.
         C5
Oh, Olivia.
F5        G5
I still love you
Bb5      F5                 E5       A5
And I know I will, till      I die
F5            C5
And this feels like
F5             G5
Common madness.
Bb5           F5
Why this wasted life?
E5          A5 
Come to me.
