D D (little riff) G G/F# x2
D
She was once mine
G G/F# D G G/F#
That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that stuck inside the Sunday Times
D G G/F# (and so on...)
She was so sweet on Christmas Eve
With the snow set deep, when we went walking through the pines
Em G
I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived
D/F#
And the new year would see her flying far away from me
A A?(002223) D G G/F#
Though I didn't know it at the time
D
With outstretched hands
G G/F#
Now she commands
D A
A famous figure for every picture
D G G/F#
And she stands up strong and she demands
D
And they deliver
A
Yeah, she's a fixture
Em G D/F#
And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that I might feel, should she appear
A
Just like it hasn't been three years
Em G D/F#
And there's a distance to her voice over the phone and that's because she stands alone
A A ?
While I'm still sitting here
Em Bm
Girl, you see me here on another quiet night
D/F# A
I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives
Em Bm
I'll decide where the light's even and bright
D/F# A Em
Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly, just gliding softly by
Bm D/F#
And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees some Christmas Eve some
A Em
god was kind enough to set aside
Bm
Although I'd love you to, I'm proud of you
D/F# A
God knows I'm feeling really stupid now
D G G/F#
For having ever said goodbye
D
During the fight
G G/F#
I said, "Yeah right"
D G G/F#
When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write
D G G/F#
Now, I know you're working hard so I never hear from you, and that's fine
D G G/F#
You look the same on TV as when you were mine
Em Bm A
I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control
Em Bm A
I watch you from the distance, you go walking through the terminal
Em D/F#
I remember every instance, when you stung me
A
Oh, you're so lovely
Em
Oh, you're so smart
G A D G G/F# x2
So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, go break their hearts
D G G/F#
Go break their hearts
Baby, break their hearts
And I know you will
