D                           F    G        Bb
last call he was sick of it all asleep at home

D        F           G  A  Bb
told you off and goodbye
 
                 D                 F                  G               Bb
well you know one day it'll come to haunt you that you didn't tell him quite

the truth


D                          F                G                     A    
you're a crisis, you're an icicle, you're a tongueless talker, you don't 

Bb
care what you say

         G                           Gm     Eb9
you're a jaywalker and you just, just walk away

          Gm      C9
and that's all you do

    Gm          Eb9     Gm            C9   Gm
the clap of the fading out sound of your shoes

Eb9   Gm     C9  Gm              Eb9  Gm  C9
made him wonder who he thought that he knew

     D                      F        G                   Bb
last call he was sick of it all, the endless stream of reminders

           D                          F                          G
made him so sick of you, sick of you, sick of you, sick of your sound, 

          A    Bb
sick of you comin' around

D              F                    G              Bb
tryin to crawl under my skin when I already shed my best defense


         D                          F                       G        
it comes out all around that you've won and I think I'm all done, you can 

  A             Bb   
switch me off safely

          G                                   Gm      Eb9
while I'm lyin' here waiting for sleep to overtake me


Gm  C7  Gm7  Eb9  Gm   C9


Gm           Eb9        Gm            C9
you're still here but just check to make sure

Gm       Eb9    Gm       C9
all you aspired to do was endure

          Gm            Eb9        Gm             C9
you can't ask for more, ask for more, knowing you'll never get

Gm             Eb9  Gm  C9
that which you asked for

       Gm        Eb9 Gm   C9
so you cast your shadow everywhere

         Gm         Eb9  Gm  C9
like the man in the moon

        F                       E        F
and you start to drink and just wanna continue

G            C/G
it'll all be yesteryear soon

    F                       E        F
you start to drink and just wanna continue

G            C/G
it'll all be yesteryear soon

D  F  G  Bb

D               F                   G                A    Bb
church bells and now I'm awake and I guess it must be some kind of holiday

        D       F                  G    A   Bb
I can't seem to join in the celebration

         D                          F                   G                
but I'll go to the service and I'll go to pray and I'll sing the praises in
 
A     Bb
my maker's name

     A G
like I was as good as she made me

      Gm            Eb9       Gm              C9
and I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me  [x8]

    Gm         Eb9      Gm       C9
I'm lyin' here waiting for sleep to overtake me
