        Bm7-5                E           Am/E  Dm/E   E
      Reveals the bed that you're not in
                       Am         G6    F7M
      I reach for the light, it shines across the room
          Bm7-5                 E             Am/E  Dm/E   E
      And brings to mind what might have been

Verse 2:

      I tell myself I'm better off   no one can hurt me now
      I see your crumpled photograph   it makes me laugh out loud
      Laugh out loud

              F      Em      Dm       G7        C    /B    /A   /G

                 F       Em       F     Dm        G7
      When you smiled at me and walked away with him  (oh... oh, no!)
