C F C
oh , a tv went off like three day old milk
C F G * C *
they shut this town down better than most
D Bm Am F C
and it always was less of an idea and more of a boast

C F C
oh , you’re burning in the bloom of life
C F G * C *
’til you’re powder in the grave
D Bm Am
or you’re pounding on the counter begging for more
F C
’til you evaporate

G# Gm
you’d forgive her anything
F A# F A# G#
if you look like you , my pretty miss
Gm F
i wonder where you are tonight
A# F A# C *
when this place becomes pitiless

repeat intro

C F C
oh , i couldn’t sleep , but i can’t complain
C F C
( oh , she offered it all but she forgot to say when )
C F G * C *
oh , this won’t hurt a bit , oh , this won’t hurt again
D Bm Am F C
when the roof comes down and the walls move in

C F C
oh , i didn’t know it could feel like that
C F G * C *
when your face turned away and the day turned black
D Bm
and the rain fell like a curtain
Am F C
oh , it’s my turn to begin
C F G * C *
to forgive her anything

G# Gm
you’d forgive her anything
F A# F A#
if you knew what i have known
G# Gm
you’d forgive her anything
G# Gm
( it’s forgiven and forgotten )
F A# F A# A
so where did all my pride go?

G# Gm F A# F A#
oh , oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G# Gm F A# F A# A
oh , oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

G# Gm
you’d forgive her anything
F A# F A#
if you knew what i have known
G# Gm
i’ve been given and forgotten
F A# F A# A
more than you will ever know

G# Gm F A# F A#
oh , oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
