G          D         
And so she wakes up
Em         C
in time to break down

She left a note up on the dresser
Em         C
and she's right on time

But don't take your life

'cause it's all that you've got
Em                       G
You'd be better off just up and leaving
       Am                    C
if you don't think they will stop

G                   D

Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
G              D         
because when i left her alone
Em           C             
she made a sound, like a moan
G        D        Em           C
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
G           Bm              
Fuck buying flowers for graves
C         D          
I'd rather buy you 
  G   Bm  C          D
a one way non-stop to anywhere
G         Bm           
find anyone do anything
C          D      G         
forget and start again, love
Bm            C      D
