Standard (EADGBE)

Sweeping up plaster

Mopping the floor

Washing the windows

Cleaning the closets

Closing the door

Filling the cracks

Out in the hall

Scraping the paint

Off of the wall

Changing the lock

[C6/9]

Turning the key

Letting you go

Away from me

Knowing it’s better

Here in my head

Doing the laundry

Washing the dishes

Making the bed

Nothing to fight

Nothing to choose

Maybe it’s good

Learning to lose

Maybe I’ll shine

Finally free

Letting you go

Away from me

If I were smart

If I were strong

If I could just

Say I was wrong

Say it was me

Say I could move

Make you believe

These things improve

Could I forget

All of the cracks

Deep in the ground

Under our tracks

And if I could

Then would you see

Or would you go away

Would you go away

Facing the facts

Watching the clock

Maybe you’ll change

Just down the block

And if you did

Where would I be?

Letting you go

Away from me
