                                     G
White kitchen walls with a thousand windows
                            D
You turn on winsten in the den
                               G
And I'm still sleep but I can hear the piano
Em                             D
When you make breakfast after 10
                           G
And I smell the coffee on your fingers
                               D
I still smell the perfume in the bed
                           Em
The crushed linen roses on everything
G                           D
And you're still inside my head

Chorus:
                                 G
You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
                              D
Let her know you're swapping sides
                        Em
You're not the one with all the problems
     G                               D
No no, you're the one with all the pride
                                  G
So just pick your head up boy, and walk away
                                 D
Walk the coolest walk that you know
                              Em
Cause in a month or two she'll, she'll call you
         G              D
You gotta hang up the phone

I hope she knows I've got this memory
That won't ever seem to break or bend
A thick lock and sheet rock is on
my windows in the kitchen
I don't think I'll ever take 'em down again
And I've learned a lot from
all these breakups and makeups
And fuck ups and fake ups
Things that I wish you could comprehend, yeah,
comprehend
But for now, I'll lace up these wingtip shoes, boys
And I'll go have breakfast with my good friends

Chorus:
You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
And let her know you're swapping sides
You're not the one with all the problems
You're not the one with all the problems
You're the one with all the pride

You got to make her know how it feels to miss you
Let her know you're swapping spit
You're not the one with all the problems
You're not the one with all the problems
She's the one that's full of shit
So just pick your head up, boys, and walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you know
Yeah, I know you know that
In a month or two, she'll, she'll call you
You got to hang up the phone...
