[Verse 1]
E
I etched the face of a stopwatch
C#m
On the back of a raindrop
Ab A
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
E
I heard an unhappy ending
C#m
It sort of sounds like you leaving
Ab
I heard the piledriver waltz
A E
It woke me up this morning
[Chorus]
A
You look like you’ve been for breakfast
F#m C#m
at the Heartbreak Hotel
A
and sat in a back booth by the pamphlets
F#m C#m
and the literature on how to lose
A B
Your waitress was miserable
C#m Ab
and so was your food
A
If you’re gonna try and walk on
B
water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
[Verse 2]
E C#m
Mysteries flashing amber go green
Ab
when you answer but the red on the rest
A
of the questionnaire never changes
E
I heard the news that youre planning
C#m
to shoot me out of a cannon
Ab
I heard the piledriver waltz
A E
it woke me up this morning
[Chorus]
A
You look like you’ve been for breakfast
F#m C#m
at the Heartbreak Hotel
A
and sat in a back booth by the pamphlets
F#m C#m
and the literature on how to lose
A B
Your waitress was miserable
C#m Ab
and so was your food
A
If you’re gonna try and walk on
B
water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes
[Ending]
B E C#m Ab A
Ooooh Piledriver
