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
