Bb Ab Gb Eb
[Verse]
Bb Gm C7/G
Laura calls me in the middle of the night
C7 Ebm7
Passes on her painful information
Bb Bb/A Gm C7/G
Then these careless fingers, they get caught in her vice
C7 F#7
Til they're bleeding on my coffee table
[Chorus]
B7 F7 Gm
Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7 F7 Gm
I'm on her side, why does she push the poison on me?
F#7 B* Bb
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa
(*First chorus only)
[Verse]
Bb Gm C7/G
Laura has a very hard time
C7 Ebm7
All her life has been one long disaster
Bb Bb/A Gm C7/G
Then she tells me she suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign
C7 F#7
She'll be taking some aggressive action
[Chorus]
B7 F7 Gm
I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7 F7 Gm
Failure to break was the only mistake that she made
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
[Bridge]
Db Eb7
Here I am feeling like a fucking fool
Ebdim/A Ab Db
Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Db Db /F Eb7
Every time I think I'm off the hook she makes me lose my cool
Ebdim/A Ab
I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys
Ebdim/A F
And she can push any button I was programmed through
[Verse]
Bb Gm C7/G
Laura calls me when she needs a good fix
C7 Ebm7
All her questions will get sympathetic answers
Bb Bb/A Gm C7/G
I should be so immunized to all of her tricks
C7 F#7
She's surviving on her second chances
[Chorus]
B7 F7 Gm
Sometimes I feel like this Godfather deal is all wrong
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7 F7 Gm
How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
[Instrumental]
Db Eb7 Edim/A Ab Db
[Bridge]
Db Eb7
I've done everything I can what else am I supposed to do
Ebdim/A Ab
I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys
Ebdim/A F
And she can push any button I was programmed through
[Verse]
Bb Gm C7/G
Laura loves me even if I don't care
C7 Ebm7
That's my problem that's her sacred absolution
Bb Bb/A Gm C7/G
If she had to she would put herself in my chair
C7 F#7
Even though I faced electrocution
[Chorus]
B7 F7 Gm
She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7 F7 Gm
How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?
F#7 B Bb
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa
