Verse 1:
C G
I pictured our apartment in the middle of Brooklyn
Am C F
and I pictured the bedroom and how the floor's still a mess
C G
I pictured your office in mid-town Manhattan
Am C F
I pictured you walking in I bet you're late again
G F
but your make-up's straight and you're smiling
Am G F
It's just like it's always been
Chorus chords but with no lyrics
C G Am Em F G Am G
Verse 2:
C G
I had lunch with your sister and she told me it's over
Am C F
that you're calling your lawyers that you're not coming back
C G
She says that she's sorry Your whole family likes me
Am C F
She don't know what you're thinking but she knows that it's bad

So I'll walk back home turn the shower on
Am G F
I'll let the washing machine turn the water cold
Chorus:

Verse 3:

I'm just skin and bones I broke my cell phone
Am G F
cause it won't fucking tell me when you're coming home
Chorus:
C G Am Em
I'll read it over again the lines of the note you left
