A#m
I wrote a goodbye note
in lipstick on your arm when you passed out
D#m         C#/F            F#
I couldn't bring myself to call
D#m        C#/F    F#
Except to call it quits

Chorus:
      C#                          F/A
Best friends, ex-friends til the end
              C#                        A#m   F#
Better off as lovers, but not the other way around
F/A                      C#  G#    A#m
Racing through the city, windows down
        F#              G#
In the back of yellow checkered cars

This city says, "come hell or high water"
Well, I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital

Chorus

A#m
The tombstones were waiting,
they were half-engraved
They knew it was over,
they just didn't know the date...

F#             G#
And I cast a spell over
     C#      G#/C     A#m C#/F F#
the west to make you think of me
F#       G#              C#/F A#m
The same way I think of you

This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist


Chorus
