    C#
They say Rome wasn't built in a day
But you and I went and built it anyway
       F#
And it only took a second to watch it all fall
   C#
to dust
C#
I thought you hung up the moon
And you thought I lit up the room
         F#
But the lights turned off and that was
           C#
the end of us

Chorus:
               F#
Slam goes the door
               G#
Hush goes the phone
              A#m
Out goes the flame
          C#
And I'm standing here alone
                F#
Burn goes the drink
             G#
Down go the tears
               A#m
Drip goes the sink
         C#
And I'm missing you like hell
                F#
Break goes the heart
                G#
Wrong goes the right
              C# F# C#
Good goes the bye

It's like we pulled a pin out of a grenade
It just didn't go off right away
But man, did it go off when it finally did
And everything's suddenly magnified
It's loud and it's quiet at the same time
As the echo of "It's all over" sets in

Chorus

A#m             F#
We can't go back
                 C#
We can't be friends
                      G#
And we can't be what we were then
A#m               F#
You can't be mine
                   C#
And I can't be yours
                  G#
And it's not love anymore

Chorus:
Slam goes the door (Slam goes the door)
Hush goes the phone (Hush goes the phone)
Out goes the flame (Out goes the flame)
And I'm standing here alone
(And I'm standing here alone)
Burn goes the drink (Burn goes the drink)
Down go the tears (Down go the tears)
Drip goes the sink (Drip goes the sink)
And I'm missing you like hell
(And I'm missing you like hell)
Break goes the heart (Break goes the heart)
Wrong goes the right (Wrong goes the right)
Good goes the bye
Goodbye
