Cm              A#           G#                             Cm A# G#
With a single pillow underneath your single head

   I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need

Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free

You used to think that someone would come along.
Cm              A#           G#                Cm A# G#
And lay beside you in a space that they belong.
Cm              A#                 G#                            Cm A# G#
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new.
   Cm              A#                 G#               Cm A# G#
And what's the point of holding onto what never gets used?
