Cm7                     G#
Close enough to start a war,

All that I have is on the floor.
Cm7                                G#
God only knows what we’re fighting for,
         Fm
All that I say,
               G#
You always say more.

   I can’t keep up with your turning tables,
         G#                  A#
   Under your thumb I can’t breathe.

Chorus:
        Cm7     G#       D#              Fm7
     So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
         Cm7     G#     D#            Fm7

     To turning tables,
                Fm    G#
     To turning tables.

Under haunted skies I see you,
Oooh, where love is lost your ghost is found.
I braved a hundred storms to leave you.
As hard as you try,
No I will never be knocked down.

   I can’t keep up with your turning tables,
   Under your thumb I can’t breathe.

Chorus:
     So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
     No, I won’t rescue you to just desert me.
     I can’t give you the heart
     You think you gave me,
     It’s time to say goodbye
     To turning tables,
     To turning tables.

   Cm7
   Next time I’ll be braver,
   G#
   I’ll be my own saviour
   D#                         Fm
   When the thunder calls to me.

   Cm7
   Next time I'll be braver,
   G#
   I’ll be my own saviour
   D#                     A#
   Standing on my own two feet.

Chorus:
     I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
     No, I won’t rescue you to just desert me.
     I can’t give you the heart
     You think you gave me,
     It’s time to say goodbye
     To turning tables,
                Fm    G#
     To turning tables,
             Cm7            G#
     Turning tables, yeah, yeah.
          Fm        G#
     Duh, duh, no, no, yeah.
