Verse 1

Ab                                 Eb
She said this talkin' Just kinda wears me out
Fm7                                Db
And all these salesmen Baby make me tired
Ab                                 Eb
They're no good Tell you the truth she said
Fm7                                Db
I've been getting' used to liars
Ab                                 Eb
They sing me love songs Store-bought words
Fm7                                Db
They make promises Like politicians
Ab                                 Eb
So we stumble and we disconnect
Fm7                Db
Over and over again
