Verse- Picking as above

Cm             Bb             Ab                             Cm Bb Ab
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
Cm              Bb           Ab                             Cm Bb Ab
With a single pillow underneath your single head
Cm             Bb                    Ab                                       Cm Bb Ab
   I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need
Cm              Bb                 Ab                                        Cm Bb Ab
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free
(strumming)                                  (back to picking)
      Fm                 Ab                  Cm Bb Ab
And I hope you have more luck with this than me

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

Stumming---------------------------------> picking

Fm                      Ab               Cm Bb Ab
Other than to sit and desire for self-abuse.

Bridge- strumming

Cm               Ab                  Cm           Bb
And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
Cm                               Ab
It's like your in some kind of hurry
           Fm           Ab            Cm Bb Ab
To say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye


Cm              Bb            Ab                             Cm Bb Ab
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
Cm              Bb            Ab                          Cm
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
