Intro played with -3- -2- and -0- on B-string:
A / / /  | Amaj / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | A / / /  | 

A5                       D5
... He always gets so mad  ... at things you laugh at
Dm9                              A5
... "Don't get so worked up", you'd say
A5                       D5
... But on the back deck   ... you admit that
Dm9                                        A5
you haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway

         E5                 A5
And so I say - "That could change"

B5 *                               E5
... I noticed how you waste no time
            A5 *             D5
Making your way across the room
B5                              E5                  A5
... You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you

B5 *                            E5 
... And it isn't no coincidence
          A5 *                D5
Where you finally choose to stand
        B5               E5            A5
I guess soon you will be leaving your man


Amaj / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | Dmsus2 / / /  | A / / /  | x2


A5                    D5
... It's a sweet smile  ... and then a denial
Dm9                             A5
... Hey, you are just trying to be nice
A5                        D5
... But there is a meaning  ... to every fleeting
Dm9                      A5
action you unconsciously decide

                 E5                A5
The clocks, they chime - Now it's time

B5 *                               E5
... I know you try and play it cool
                   A5 *                      D5
But there are some thoughts you just can't hide
B5                       E5                 A5
... Only in your closest friends do you confide

B5 *                                    E5
... The way you say you'll be seeing me
              A5 *       D5
Oh, like it's so offhand
        B5               E5            A5
I guess soon you will be leaving your man


A / / /  | Dmaj/F#m / / /  | Dmsus2 / / /  | A / / /  | x2


B5 *                             E5
... You stare at me so boldly now
            A5 *               D5
You have no lack of confidence
B5                             E5            A5
... It's just those lessons on subtlety you missed

B5 *                             E5
... I know you dream of saving me
              A5 *                   D5
Like I'm some plane that you could land
    B5                     E5            A5
But when you fly you'll be leaving your man
