Fourth floor room, each girl I've brought back home to bloom all fold on close inspection
G Bm Em Am Bm C
Each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves
Bm Bm D
Marking the eve of election, ex-girl collection
Am Bm C G E Am Bm C
Whyyyyy into why not, into what else you got? It's just how men mark tiiiiiime
G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm

[Verse 2]

Ann slams in, another lightning round be-gins (this could get interesting)
G Bm Em Am Bm C
Where's Ann been? She pours herself a don't-ask gin
Bm Bm D
no ice and light on the bitters, I'm done with quitters
Am Bm C G E Am Bm C
Whyyyyy? Charles, I found out, wipe that smile off your mouth, I think it's tell-me tiiiiiime
[Verse 3]
G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm
Britt hit hard, she found my box of Beth's best cards hand cut and signed with 'X's
G Bm Em Am Bm C
Called at work, "Happy anniversary, jerk"
Bm Bm D
And I just laughed at the timing (with you on line two still crying)
Am Bm C G E
"Whyyyyy play sex on the cuff? Does Beth like it rough?
Am Bm C G E
And learn your dirty liiiiiines? And keep her hair cropped? (the other shoe dropped)
Am Bm C G E
Is this how men mark tiiiiiime in couples?", she cursed (this sounds too rehearsed)
[Bridge]
Am C
As Ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters
Am C G
The words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster
D G
I'm called ten kinds of a bastard, curses come faster
[Verse 4]
G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm
Ann stands down, I think she thinks there's still some ground to run manoeuvres on
G Bm Em Am Bm C
But Ann's so smart, you couldn't even guess Beth's part
Bm Bm D
She said "Beth must find you daring!" I'm way past caring!
Am Bm C G E
Whyyyyy? Into, why not? Into, Charles gone to pot in hotter water
Am Bm C G E
Liiiiiine up to lift up a toast to the ones I hurt most
Am Bm C G E
And how the well's gone liiiiiime with Charles on the plow, roger, over and out
[Outro]
Am Bm C
Slower how men mark tiiiiiime
Am Bm C
Fiiiiiine
Am Bm C G
Whyyyyy? What else you got?
