Standard (EADGBE)

Fourth floor room

Each girl I've brought back home to bloom

All fold on close inspection

Each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves

Marking the eve of election

Ex-girl collection

Why/ into why not

Into what else you got?

It's just how men mark time

Ann slams in

Another lightening round begins

This could get interesting

Where's Ann been?

She pours herself a don't-ask gin

No ice and light on the bitters

I'm done with quitters

'Why / Charles, I found out

Wipe that smile off your mouth

I think it's tell-me time...'

Britt hit hard

She found my box of Beth's best cards

Hand cut and signed with 'x's

Called at work

'Happy anniversary, jerk'

And I just laughed at the timing with you on hold line 2 still crying

'Why / play sex on the cuff?

Does Beth like it rough?

And learn your dirty lines?

And keep her hair cropped

(The other shoe dropped)

'Is this how men mark time / in couples?', she cursed

(This sounds too rehearsed)

As Ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters

The words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster

I'm called 10 kinds of a bastard

Curses came faster

Ann stands down

I think she thinks [something]

Ann [something]

[something]

Why / into why not?

Into charles gone to pot

In hotter water

Line/ up to lift up a toast

To the ones I hurt most

And how the well's gone lime

With charles on the plow

I'm roger over and how

Slower now men mark time

Fine

Why, / what else you got?

[G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm x several times--you can pick out

the lead in the verse chords and sound sort of right]
