[Intro] C

C                               Am
I etched the face of a stopwatch
                          E
On the back of a raindrop
                                 F
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
C                         Am
I heard an unhappy ending
                                       E
It sort of sounds like you're leaving
                            F                        C
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

( C )

                      F                        Dm           Am
You look like you've been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
                                F                Dm         Am
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose
     F           G            C            E
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food
                 F                                             G
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes

C                   Am
Mysteries flashing amber
                                  E
Go green when you answer but the red
                                             F
On the rest of the questionnaire never changes
C                               Am
I heard the news that you're trying
                        E
To shoot me out of a cannon
                            F                       C
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

( C )

                      F                        D#m           Am
You look like you've been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
                                F                D#m         Am
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose
     F          G             C             E
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food
                F                                             G
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes oooh
