Break the news you're walking out
Em
To be a good man for someone else
D Em
Sorry I was never good like you
D
Stood on my chest and kept me down
Em
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D Em
Did my best to exist just for you
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am G
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am
I am my mother's child I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
G D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
D Am
But in our darkest hours I stumbled on a secret power
G D
I'll find a way to be without you babe
D
I still feel you now and then
Em
Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
D Em
When you see me will you say I've changed
D
I ride the subway read the signs
Am
I let the seasons change my mind
G D
I love it here since I've stopped needing you
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am G
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
D Am G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D Am
I am my mother's child I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
G D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
D Am
But in our darkest hours I stumbled on a secret power
G D
I'll find a way to be without you babe
D Am
I am my mother's child I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
