She slips him a note, he shows her his teeth
                 D                     E
She zips up her coat, he goes to the streets
                A                   F#m
He gets on the bus, finds an empty seat
               D   E                 A
He reads in a rush as it begins to sleet
                                      F#m
And it says, "Darling, darling, what, oh, what have we done?
         D
Who, oh, who have we become?
                E
Where did we go wrong?
              A                    F#m     E         A
You treat me fine, but you make me cry til I can't breathe.
                           E                       A
And if it weren't for this kid, I would probably leave."

He wakes up at 6, she's still asleep
                 D
And he builds a fire
                    E
The rain falls in sheets 
                   A                  F#m
He stares at the clock, the carpool's late
                        D                 E
We should leave here at 7 to get there by 8
                A                      F#m
He turns on the TV as he picks up the phone
                    D        E            A  
The first thing he sees is a man weeping alone
          A                                  F#m
Crying, "Jesus, Jesus, savior, what have we done?
          D
Who, oh, who have we become?
                 E
Where did we go wrong?
              A                    F#m     E        A
You treat me fine, but you make me cry til I can't breathe.
                      E                       A
And if it weren't for her, I would probably leave."

She's 71, he's 73
And they rent a house down by the sea
She drops him off and he makes some cash
He takes a cab home, finds her on her back
Staring at the fan, breath stuck in her throat
She takes his hand and she slips in a note
And it says, "Why, oh, why do we come so fast and then disappear?
Where, oh, where do we go after that, after here?
No, I know that this is not for me to see.
When I go promise that you'll follow me."
