[Verse 1]
A
You clean the bathroom
E
On your hands and on your knees
F#m
Wearing latex gloves
D
That you borrow from her
A E
I don’t know what you think you’re doing
F#m
But you’re doing it for free
D
Do you know even what you’re doing anymore?
A E
I know it’s not my business
F#m
And I know it’s not my right
D
But the expression on your face
A
Looks so awkward and contrived
E
But I know it’s not my business
F#m
And I know it’s not my right
D
And I don’t know what to call it
But I wouldn’t call it
[Chorus 1]
A E F#m
Oh, I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship
D
You’re a work of art, something delicate
A
You’re my mother’s son
E
You’re my favorite song
F#m D
I’m the things you hide
When you turn the lights back on
A E
I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation
F#m
You’re a getaway vacation
D
That I hoped would bring salvation
It did not
A
And it’s killing me
E
You were the only person
F#m
Who could understand
D
The things I think inside my head
N.C.
And somehow you forgot
[Interlude]
A E F#m D
[Verse 2]
A
I dated Audrey Hepburns
E
Just to be Paul Varjack
F#m
And I picked up all the paychecks
D
But I never called them back
A E
I guess I wasn’t fooling anybody
F#m
But I never knew myself
D
As well as I knew how to act
A E
And I know it’s not my business
F#m
And I know it’s not my right
D
But you crawl into my bed
In the middle of the night
A E
And you ask me not to leave you
F#m
But you don’t ask me to stay
D
And I never can say no
A
When you look at me like that
[Chorus 2]
E F#m
I’m a rising star, I’m a sinking ship
D
You’re a work of art, something delicate
A
You’re my mother’s son
E
No, you’re my favorite song
F#m D
I’m the things you hide
When you turn the lights back on
A E
I’m a one, or two, or three page explanation
F#m
That you wouldn’t take the time
D
To give to anyone at all
A E
I’m a one, or two or three page explanation
F#m
That you wouldn’t take the time
D
To give to anyone
Anyone at all
[Interlude]
A E F#m D x2
[Bridge]
A E
Are you overseas now?
F#m
With the drugs
D
And all the men
A
Or are you dead
E
Or hiding in your loft
F#m D
Behind your papers and your pens
A
Just how we met
E F#m
I never did believe a word they said
D
The bluest blues
A
The reddest reds
E F#m
I never did believe a word they said
D
They made it up
A
Even the end
