INTRO
(a capella)                  [E]
My brave, my brave, my brave face

| E | % | A/E | % |

E
 I've been living in style
E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the luxury life
A                  Abm F#m  B      E
 I've been hitting the town and it didn't hit back

E
 I've been doing the rounds
E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the time on my hands
A                 Abm F#m    B             E
 Now I don't have to tell anybody when I'm gonna get back

C#m            C#mMaj7        Cm7           E7
Ever since you went away I've had this sentimental
     A             Am              E
Inclination not to change a single thing
C#m           C#mMaj7            Cm7           Cm6        A
As I pull the sheets back on the bed I want to go bury my head
        Am
In your pillow

E        B    E             E          B        E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,
    E        Abm           C#m
The simplest things set me off again
    C#m     Abm     F#m
And take me to that place

A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face
A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face
A         E/G#      F#m      E
My brave, my brave, my brave face

My brave face


E
I`ve been living a lie
E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the work of a housewife,
A                   Abm F#m    B               E
 I`ve been breaking up   dirty dishes and been throwing them away

C#m            C#mMaj7          Cm7          E7
Ever since you left I have been trying to compose a 
       A                    Am                   E
"Baby, will you please come home" note meant for you
C#m         C#mMaj7     Cm7          Cm6             A
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner from the table 
       Am
I laid for two


E        B    E             E          B        E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,
    E        Abm           C#m
The simplest things set me off again

My brave, my brave, my brave face
