C5           G5 
This is the story of a girl  
                      A5                  D5 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world  
               B5              C5 
And while she looks so sad in photographs  
   A5 
I absolutely love her  
          G5       D5 C5 G5 D5 C5 
When she smiles  
 

B5                  C5 
How many days in a year  
    G5                          D5 
She woke up with hope but she only found tears  
   B5               C5 
And I can be so insincere  
G5                      D5 
Making the promises never for real  
   B5                          C5 
As long as she stands there waiting  
 G5                           D5 
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes  
B5               C5 
How many days disappear  
     G5                        D5 
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose  
 

       E5                 Dadd4/F#5 
Your clothes never wear as well the next day  
          G5                  A5 
And your hair never falls in quite the same way  
E5               Dadd4/F#5            A5 
You never seem to run out of things to say

B5                     C5 
How many lovers would stay 
        G5                      D5 
Just to put up with this shit day after day 
B5                         C5 
How did we wind up this way  
G5                                D5 
Watching our mouths for the words that we say 
    B5                      C5 
As long as we stand here waiting 
 G5                                D5 
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose 
B5                    C5 
How do we get there today 
             G5                            D5 
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes 
       E5                 Dadd4/F#5 
Your clothes never wear as well the next day 
          G5                 A5 
And your hair never falls in quite the same way 
    E5              Dadd4/F#5             A5 
But you never seem to run out of things to say

I absolutely love her  
          G5        
When she smiles
