[Verse]
     G                          Bm
Well she calls me up when she's broken
 C                          G
Says to leave my front door open
  Em                    Bm
I come home to find her smoking
         C                    Dadd4
With her eyes all fragile and thin
 
 
      G                        Bm
She's always been hopeless at hoping
C                        G
Always coped badly with coping
    Em                       Bm
And I never know when she's joking
    C                   Dadd4
She never lets anyone in
 
 
[Chorus]
C
  I know I'm a fool to let her
G                     C  Cadd2 C
Run away with my heart
G                  C                  Dadd4
  But she'll never tire of these games
 
C                      G     D             C
  Loving her is like playing catch in the dark
       G             C        Dadd4
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flames

[Verse]
            G                    Bm
Yeah, we'll drink too much for a Wednesday
       C                       G
She'll ask me why none of her men stay
  Em                        Bm
I tell her just what her friends say
       C                    Dadd4
And it never goes down too well
 
           G                          Bm
And she'll stay here 'til late in the evening
          C                  G
But she's always arriving or leaving
    Em                  Bm
She never decides to believe in
    C                          Dadd4
The people who know her so well
 
 
[Chorus]
C
  And I'm a fool to let her
G                     C  Cadd2 C
Run away with my heart
G               C                 Dadd4
  She'll never tire of these games
 
C                          G     D             C
  And loving her is like playing catch in the dark
       G             C        Dadd4  Em Em7 Em
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flames
 
 
[Bridge]
        C                       G
And she says if we're single at 40
          B7                      Em
We'll get married and move to the country
C                        G     C   Dadd4
But I know she'll never want me
 
 
[Outro]
G                       Bm
  And it's 5.15 in the morning
C                             G
  I reach for her whilst I'm yawning
Em*
  She leaves me with no warning
