Intro  C  Em  Fmaj7  C  Am  Em  Fmaj7  G

Verse

        C                     Em
Well she calls me up when she's broken

           Fmaj7                C
says to leave my front door open

  Am                    Em
I come home to find her smoking

            Fmaj7                   G
with her eyes all fragile and thin


         C                    Em
She's always been hopeless at hoping

Fmaj7                   C
always coped badly with coping

Am                     Em
I never know when she's joking

             Fmaj7              G
because she never lets anyone in


Chorus

F        
Now I'm a fool to let her

C                   F
run away with my heart

C               F
but she'll never tire

            G
of these games


F       C
Loving her is like playing

             F
catch in the dark

       C                 F     G
I'm a teardrop in an ocean

   C
of flames


Verse

        C                      Em
And we'll drink too much for a wednesday

      Fmaj7                 C
she asks me why none of her men stay

      Am                          Em
and I tell her just what her friends say

   Fmaj7                     G 
it never goes down too well


          C                          Em
We should stay here till late in the evening

           Fmaj7                 C 
but she is always arriving or leaving

Am               Em
never decides to believe in

      Fmaj7                 G 
the people who know her so well


Chorus

F        
Now I'm a fool to let her

C                 F
run away with my heart

C                F
but she'll never tire

         G
of these games


F                  C
Loving her is like playing

             F
catch in the dark

       C                 F     G
I'm a teardrop in an ocean

   Am
of flames


Bridge

       Fmaj7               C
She says if we're still single at 40

             E7                   Am
we'll get married and move to the country

     Fmaj7                   C        G
but I know she'll never want me


Verse

           C               Em
And it's 5.15 in the morning

  Fmaj7                   C
I reach for her while I'm yawning

      Am                       Em
she leaves me with no warning
