          C#                     Fm
Well she calls me up when she's broken
         F#maj7             C#
says to leave my front door open
  A#m                    Fm
I come home to find her smoking
        F#maj7                 G#
with her eyes all fragile and thin

She's always been hopeless at hoping
Always coped badly with coping
I never know when she's joking
Because she never lets anyone in

Chorus:
F#
Now I'm a fool to let her
C#                F#
run away with my heart
C#               F#
but she'll never tire
          G#
of these games
F#                  C#
Loving her is like playing
G#           F#
catch in the dark
       C#            F#   G#
I'm a teardrop in an ocean
        C#
of flames

And we'll drink too much for a Wednesday
She'll ask me why none of her men stay
I tell her just what her friends say
It never goes down too well

And she'll stay here til late in the evening
But she's always arriving or leaving
She never decides to believe in
The people who know her so well

Chorus

    F#maj7                         C#
She says if we're still single at 40
           F7                      A#m
we'll get married and move to the country
  F#maj7                       C# G#
but I know she'll never want me

And it's 5.15 in the morning
I reach for her while I'm yawning
she leaves me with no warning
