VERSE 1

C7M         B7      Em
I read in the paper today
            G               C7M     B7
It's been a record year for rainfall
             Em                           G
And you were leaning against the bathroom wall
        C7M        B7
In your lonely dress
         Em         G   C7M  B7
Was your only dress

Em  G  C7M

C7M   B7
stand accusing
Em
across
        G              C7M   B7
I got a temper set for tender
Em                                   G
And you were shrugging it off like a feather
       C7M   B7
Saying "oh...
                       Em        G  C7M
Would you look at this weather"

CHORUS

C7M      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?
      G                   C7M
Is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away
           G             C7M
And in the annuls of the empire
       B7
Did it look this gray
           Em  G  C7M  B7
Before the falllllll
           Em  G  C7M  B7
Before the falllllll

Em G C7M B7

VERSE 2

   C7M     B7        Em
So rake your thumbnail across
    G              C7M   B7
The stretch of the patina
Em                G
Revealing a proserpina
     C7M       B7
In a low recline
     Em              G  C7M
In a steep decline

CHORUS

C7M      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?
      G                   C7M
Is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away
           G             C7M
And in the annuls of the empire
       B7
Did it look this gray?
Does it look so gray?
Does it always look so gray
           Em  G  C7M  B7
Before the faaaallllll?
           Em  G  C7M  B7
Before the faaaallllll?
