This is a very simple song with the same four chords throughout. It builds up on
the 4th verse and keeps building until the last two verses where it dies down a bit.
C
Whatd you get into
Em
Dirtied your trust, love
Am
Breaking like ballroom glass
G
Hanging on neck slack
C
Trashy wool jewelry
Em
Drenching in after-shave
Am
Who did you cling to
G
Genuine leather
C
Sports car upholstery
Em
Revoking your eyes to
Am
Cringe at the thought of
G
Sandpaper sheets.
C
Whatd we get into
Em
Squander the words that
Am
Stumble on whiskey thoughts.
G
You just pretend to
C
Distance yourself from
Em
acting so innocent
Am
With shimmering eyes that
G
roll at my words.
C Em Am G
C
I'm just pretending
Em
I didn't see you
Am
Fold up the letter
G
put it back in my pocket.
C
Glance at the door
Em
uncomfortable silence.
Am
Cause there's still a war
G
on the coffee table.
