B 
I looked you up and down 
A6
I liked everything I saw 
B 
From the fragile outline of your hips
A6
To the trembling movement in your jaw
B                                        Bmaj7
But when the coffee cup shattered on the kitchen floor
A                          E
You said that you couldn't take it anymore
B
I knew you were leaving
A                     E       B
I knew you were going to Bristol


B
I watched you pack your bags
A6
I saw you head out to the door
B
But when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock
A6
You said that you couldn't take it anymore
B                                      Bmaj7
That was the second time you said that in one day
A                              E
Why don't you just sit still, it's going to be OK
B
Going to Bristol
A                     E       B
I knew you were going to Bristol


The chords during the chorus sound very nice as power chords, but a full barre will do as well.

This song can also be done in the key of C really well, just alternate between C 
and F7, and at the chorus use a G and Em
