         F                 C
A paper cut and a Chinese burn
                Dm
Is all that she left me
                    F                        C
A door that won't shut and a key that won't turn
                Dm
Is all that she left me

Chorus:
         F        Csus4        Dm
Well I tried, I tried, yeah I really did try
   F            Csus4     Dm
I can't get her out of my mind
 F       Csus4      Dm
Never before have I ever been sure
     F        Csus4     Am      Dm
I'm sure I'm sure this time, uh-huh

Spinning room and an aching head
Is all that she left me
An open wound and a string that won't thread
Is all that she left me

Chorus:
Well I tried, I tried, yeah I really did try
I can't get her out my mind
Never before have I ever been sure
I'm sure I'm sure this time
