Tuning: Standard EADGBe




Intro: Eb5  C#5 B5   C#5   x2


Verse 1:
                 Eb5
So let's set the scene
He walked out 
   C#5 B5
to a  busy street
In the summer heat
     C#5               Eb5
Hazy from the night before
Not the type to 
 C#5   B5
spend one alone
Even though he knows
         C#5
Come the morning
         Eb5 C#5 B5
he'll be gone
              C#5
Just moving on


Verse 2:
Eb5             C#5 B5
   She awoke in an empty bed
The sting of regret
         C#5         Eb5
Creeping into every bone
On the nightstand
C#5 B5
a  note that read
"Girl I won't be back
      C#5                Eb5
you deserve better than that"
    C#5    B5
She would cry if 
                 C#5
she could lie to herself
            Eb5
Cause she's used 
   C#5  B5
to the first time
                 C#5
Always being her last


Chorus:
               Eb5
Can you see it dripping 
     C#5       B5
down from her lips
                     C#5
Dancing on her fingertips?
                Eb5  C#5       B5
Can you see the pain that she hides
                   C#5
Deep inside in her eyes?
            Eb5  C#5      B5
This is all just what it seems
                     C#5
Give me just another dream
                  Eb5         C#5 B5
Could be that the end doesn't al ways
Just justify the means
               C#5
Sometimes it's better to just leave


Post chorus: 
Eb5  C#5 B5

               C#5             Eb5  C#5 B5  C#5
Sometimes it's better to just leave


Verse 3:
                   Eb5
So let's set this straight
Two weeks later 
C#5   B5
he's back again
City of sin
          C#5             Eb5
And she's acting out her role
              C#5    B5
She arrives a touch at the waist
To another pretty face
          C#5
And she's taking
         Eb5
this one home
    C#5   B5
She will lie and he 
         C#5
will buy her lines
               Eb5   C#5  B5
Cause you were never the first
                            C#5
She tries that shit all the time


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
B5          Eb5
  She's so afraid of 
             B5
what she's become
                      F#5
She's begging just to feel 
    C#5           B5
something for anyone
             C#5
Nothing can stand
but she's made up her
Eb5
Mind is all I can't 
     F#5
hang on now
C#5            B5
She is on her own
Get out while you 
 C#5
still have some heart left
Eb5
   You can't say "so 
C#5
long" with no hope


(Repeat Chorus)
