Verse:
Em                      Am
It was a cryptic conversation.
Em                           Am
Suddenly, I'm rolling in the dirt.
Bb                         G               F                    G
I try and stumble down the passageway, my head thundering with hurt.
Em                         Am         Em                       Am-G-F
And my condolence to your boyfriend, taken by this penny-ante scam.
C                       F                  G
Pretty soon he will be leaving for where I am.

Verse:
Em                    Am
It was an endless filibuster.
Em                               Am
Everything was said and nothing done.
Bb                          G        F                             G
I left there confident in victory, counting out the arguments I'd won.
Em                     Am
I contemplate the unexpected, 
Em                          Am-G-F
staring at my hands upon the oar.
C                       F                  G   
I guess it was my inclination to hope for more.
