                             Bm
Theres clothes all over my floor
                                  D
don't remember them being here before
                        G
Smell of perfume isn't here,
                       A
why's lipstick on the mirror
                         E
And still I don't understand

                         Bm
No pictures left in the hall,
                               D
there's three new holes in my wall
                           G
Where the hells my credit cards,
                        A
why's my wallet in the yard
                         E
And still I don't understand

Chorus:
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other,
why's love gotta be so tough?

Should see the look on my face
My shit's all over the place
Why's this happening to me?
Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand

Chorus:
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other,
why's love gotta be so tough?
Oh, now I guess I should've listened

There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
There are no candles in here, lipstick on my mirror
And still I don't understand

Chorus:
Oh, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other,
why must life be so tough?
Oh, well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other,
why's love gotta be so tough?
