Intro

Bass G---D

Verse 1

 i'm throwing away pictures

that i never should have

 taken in the first place

 and it's cold in my apartment

as i'm changing all the colors

 from the brightest reds to grays

Refrain 2

 well it's 3 o'clock

on monday morning

i'm just hoping you're

 not seeing his face

 i've been getting calls

in these hotel rooms

long enough to know

 that it was him

 that took my place

Chorus 1

and i hope this makes

 you happy now

that the flame we

had is burning out

and i hope you like your

pictures facing down

 as even broken hearts

may have their doubts

Interlude

Bass G---D

Verse 2

 and i'm burning

all the letters

hoping that i might forget

 her and her bad taste

 that she left when

she was leaving me

a life of barely breathing

 as she walked out of this place

Refrain 2

 and you dropped the note

and we changed key

 you changed yourself

and i changed me

 i really didn't see us

 singing through this

 then you screamed the

bridge and i

cried the verse

 and our chorus came

out unrehearsed

 and you smiled the

whole way through it

 i guess maybe that's

what's worse

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

and i'm taking all your

memories off the shelf

and i don't need

 you or anybody else

 so take a look at me

see what you want to see

 when you get home

Bridge

take me home

i'd rather die

 than be with you

take me home

you have a problem

 with the truth

take me home

because this happens

 every time

i knew it would...

i knew it would...

(Repeat)

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Repeat chorus 2)
