             A
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa...
Bm       G                           D
Where I held your body close for so long, so long...

Bm                  D
Walk in the house, lights are off
Em
In the closet by the door as you go
Bm         D               Em
I wasn't thinking of you before
     Bm                     D
Too many rooms in this house and we keep going out
Em
What the hell is that about?
Bm               A          D
We gotta find a way to be okay

Chorus:
             A
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa...
Bm       G                           D
Where I held your body close for so long, so long...
           A
I'm gonna break the fucking china
Bm          G                             D
Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone

When I get home, TV on
Drink in my glass, better make it strong
Some nights wanna fill this space
With a tight dress and a pretty face
Keep finding things that you left on purpose
Did you plan it? Your timing's perfect
Gotta find a way to be okay

Chorus:
Maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I'm gonna break the fucking china
'Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone

                   A
We were building brick by brick
          G                D
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah
              A
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Bm       G                           D
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
Yeah, so long

Bm
I can put a sign in the lawn
D                          G
Didn't mean I would wanna let you go
G
And I don't wanna let you
Bm
I can put a sign on the lawn
D                          G
Didn't mean I would wanna let you go
G
And I don't wanna let you!

Chorus:
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
I'll burn everything that binds us
Take a lighter to the mattress and run, run

We were building brick by brick
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah
So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa
Where I held your body close for so long, so long
Yeah, so long
