Tom: D
Em G A
[Verse 1]
Em
You said that you would call me
G
And when you didn’t call me
A
I gave you up for dead
Em
So I was working on a backbone
G
And chiseling a tombstone
A
When you called me up and said
Em
Through a wall of heavy breathing
G
You thought it was relieving
A
To be out on your own
Em
How a voice that used to thrill me
G
Could cut me up and kill me
A
On the fucking telephone
[Chorus]
Em G A
You did not even send me airborne anyway
Em G A
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
[Verse 2]
Em
It was just another Thursday
G
Like any other Thursday
A
Except that we were through
Em
We were wading through the concrete
G
And digging through the scrap heap
A
Deciding what belonged to who
Em
All the treasure from the good days
G
Was going through the last phase
A
Of yours and yours and mine
Em
When something from the yours pile
G
Shattered on the floor tile
A
And you went off like Frankenstein
[Chorus]
Em G A
You did not even send me airborne anyway
Em G A
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
[Verse 3]
Em
I think it’s clear that I adore you
G
I didn’t mean to bore you
A
Or grind it in so deep
Em
I had to place another call in
G
I didn’t think you’d fall in
A
With the company you keep
Em
And you tell me that you love me
G
But you don’t really love me
A
You remind me every day
Em
When you’re living in a flood plain
G
It doesn’t take a hard rain
A
To wash it all away
[Chorus]
Em G A
You did not even send me airborne anyway
Em G A
Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
