(Piano): G Em7 Bm x2
Verse:
[G]All around the [Em7]room your things are [Bm]placed
And next to you he fills the space
[G] And so it [Em7]seems your saving [Bm]grace is only saving face
The [G]pictures of the [Em7]two of you on [Bm]holiday, on honeymoon
You [G]thought that he was [Em7]wanting you,
But [Bm]he was only wanting you to [A7sus4]let [G/B]him [Csus2]off [G/F#]the [G]hook[Em7][Bm]
[G] [Em7] [Bm]
[G]He was your [Em7]imaginary [Bm]friend, you were partners til the end
[G] Then something [Em7]bends, and then it [Bm]breaks, your worst mistake
Accepting [G]enemies on [Em7]bended knees; a [Bm]litany of tragedies,
You're [G]vexed, it seems you're [Em7]hexed and after [Bm]sex he expects
You'll let him [A7sus4]off [G/B]the [Csus2]hook [G/F#]til
Chorus:
[G]Something [Em7]that you [Dsus4]heard while you were [Csus2]sleeping left you
[G]Shaken [Em7]while he [Dsus4]stirred. When you [Csus2]awaken you will
[G]Make him [Em7]eat his [A7sus4]words [G/B]right [Csus2]off [G/F#]the
[G]Hook [Em7]and [Bm]line, [G]eve[Em7]ry [Bm]time
Verse:
The [G]credit card [Em7]receipts, the dirty [Bm]sheets, souvenirs of men who cheat
[G] It all makes [Em7]sense - with each of[Bm]fense, you wanted to believe him
[G]He could get [Em7]away with murder [Bm]one, and you would [Csus2]clean the smoking gun,
[G]With every [Em7]crime, you bought each lin[Bm]e, but not this time, you'll make him
[A7sus4]Eat [G/B]his [Csus2]words [G/F#]cause
Chorus:
[G]Something [Em7]that you [Dsus4]heard while you were [Csus2]sleeping left you
[G]Shaken [Em7]while he [Dsus4]stirred, when you a[Csus2]waken you will
[G]Make him [Em7]eat his, [A7sus4]make [G/B]him [Csus2]eat [G/F#]his
[G]Words while [Em7]he's a[Dsus4]lone, cause you won't [Csus2]be around and
[G]From now [Em7]on the [A7sus4]phone [G/B]stays [Csus2]off [G/F#]the
Outro:
[G]Hook [Em7]and [Bm]line, [G]eve[Em7]ry [Bm]time
