[D] Break the news, you're walking out
[C] To be a good man for someone else
[D] Sorry I was never good like [C] you [Cmaj7]
[D] Stood on my chest and kept me down
[C] Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[D] Did my best to exist just for [C] you
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a writer in the [C] dark
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a writer in the [C] dark
Now she's gonna [D] play and sing and lock you in her [C] heart
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a [C] writer in the [G] dark
[G] I am my mother's child, I'll [Am] love you 'til my [Em] breathing stops
I'll [Am] love you 'til you [Em] call the cops on [D] me
[G] But in our darkest hours, I [Am] stumbled on a [Em] secret power
I'll [Am] find a way to [Em] be without you, [D] babe
[D] I still feel you, now and then
[C] Slow like pseudoephedrine
[D] When you see me, will you say I've [C] changed? [Cmaj7]
[D] I ride the subway, read the signs
I [C] let the seasons change my mind
I [G] love it here since I've stopped needing [D] you
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a writer in the [C] dark
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a writer in the [C] dark
Now she's gonna [D] play and sing and lock you in her [C] heart
Bet you rue the [D] day you kissed a [C] writer in the [G] dark
[G] I am my mother's child, I'll [Am] love you 'til my [Em] breathing stops
I'll [Am] love you 'til you [Em] call the cops on [D] me
[G] But in our darkest hours, I [Am] stumbled on a [Em] secret power
I'll [Am] find a way to [Em] be without you, [D] babe
[G] I am my mother's child, I'll [Am] love you 'til my [Em] breathing stops
I'll [Am] love you 'til you [Em] call the cops on [D] me
[G] But in our darkest hours, I [Am] stumbled on a [Em] secret power
I'll [Am] find a way to [Em] be without you, [D] babe
[G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [D] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [D]
