[Verse 1]
[G]I pictured [Dsus4]our apartment
[Em]In the [G7]middle of Brooklyn
[C]And I pictured the [G]bedroom And how the [Dsus4]floor's still a mess.
[Em]I pictured your [G7]office in mid-town Manhattan.
[C]I pictured you [D]walking in, I [C]bet you're late again,
[Em]But your make-up's [D]straight and you're smiling,
[C]It's just like [G]it's always been.
[D] [Em] [Bm] [C]
[D] [Em] [D]

[Verse 2]
[G]I had lunch with your sister and she told me it's [Dsus4]over, that you're calling your lawyers, that you're not coming back.
[Em]She says [G7]that she's sorry.
[C]Your whole [G]family likes me.
[Dsus4]She don't know what you're thinking, [Em]but she knows that it's bad.
[G7]So, I walked back [C]home, turned the shower on.
[D]I let the [C]washing machine turn [Em]the water cold.
[D]I'll read it over again—the [C]lines of the note you left.

[Chorus 1]
[G]I keep hoping that I'll forget, [D]that the words changed while I [Em]slept but I've got my doubts.
[Bm]You're staying at your [C]parents house Well I'm [D]sleeping on the couch.
[Em]I can't stand [D]our bed without you.
[G]I found enough of your [D]hairpins to build you a [Em]monument, A statue to loneliness.
[Bm]Breathe it in.
[C]Let it go.
[Eb]I caved a piece [G]of the drywall in,
[Dsus4] [Em] [G7] [C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Replaying the argument,
[Dsus4]I'm icing [Em]my swollen fist.
[G7]It's a lie and this [C]isn't a home, no, no.
[G]I'm just [Dsus4]skin and bones.
[Em]I broke [G7]my cell phone
[C]Cause it won't [D]fucking tell me [C]when you're coming home.
[Em]I'll read it [D]over again—the lines [C]of the note you left.

[Chorus 2]
[G]I keep hoping that I'll [D]forget, that the words changed [Em]while I sleptbut I've got my doubts.
[Bm]You're staying at [C]your parents house
[D]Well I'm sleeping [Em]on the couch.
[D]I can't stand [G]our bed without you.
[D] [Em] [Bm] [C]
[Eb]
