[Intro]
C G C F Am G C
[Verse 1]
C G C F
I stood in the place where you fucked me and thought about how I'd never see you again
C G F C G
I still sleep in the room where you dumped me, voices still in the walls and I'll bring home new friends
C G C F
Gotta shake off these nasty addictions, to gratification and self-flagellation
Am G
It's too late in the evening and it's too late in general
F C G
I miss having meaning and a distraction from myself
C G C F
Want to be struck by new love's lightning all fucked up dripping wet and frightening
Am G F C G
Or just have something that leaves me smiling to myself as I walk back home
[Chorus]
Am G C
But I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord
Am G C
And I was less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford
Am G
And you were less like your old self and more like your mother
F C G
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others
Am G C
You are less like a lover and more like a landlord
[Verse 2]
C G C F
Said I'll be your emergency contact if you kiss me when you get back
Am G C
I called you, I had to, went straight to your message bank
C G
Wanted to make up for a lost time, make up for a lost cause
C F Am G C
Would've stood tall, but for once in my life I wasn't the one who pushed for the fall
C G C F
So one of these days I'm gonna drop dead and you'll only remember the nice things I said
Am G
So put your rose-coloured glasses on, pretend you're fine until I'm gone
F C G
And you can do whatever the fuck you want
[Chorus]
Am G C
And I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord
Am G C
And you'd become less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford
Am G
And you were less of your old self and more like your mother
F C G
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others
Am G C
I was less like a lover and more like a landlord
[Verse 3]
C G G
I still sleep in the room where you dumped me
C G G
Write songs about how I'm never speaking to you again
Shouldn't make any difference, surroundings don't influence
The person that I think I am [x4]
[Chorus]
Am G C
And I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord
Am G C
And you'd become less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford
Am G
And you were less of your old self and more like your mother
F C G
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others
Am G C
You were less like a lover and more like a landlord
