Intro:
Dm  Gm  Bb7  A7

Verse 1:
Dm                     Gm
 He left no time to re-gret,
              Bb7                         A7
Kept his xxxx wet, with his same old safe bet.
Dm                Gm
 Me...and my head high,
             Bb7                 A7
And my tears dry; get on without my guy.

Verse:
Dm                         Gm
 You went back to what you knew,
       Bb7                            A7
So far removed, from all that we went through.
    Dm                   Gm
And I...tread a troubled track,
            Bb7                   A7
My odds are stacked; I'll go back to black.

Chorus:
Dm                         Gm
 We only said goodbye with words; I died a hundred times.
Bb7                     A7            - - -          - Dm  -
 You go back to her and I go back to...I go back to us.

Verse:
Dm          Gm               Bb7
 I love you much, it's not e-nough;
                    A7
You love blow and I love puff.
    Dm             Gm
And life is like a pipe,
               Bb7                        A7
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside.

Chorus:
Dm                         Gm
 We only said goodbye with words; I died a hundred times.
Bb7                     A7
 You go back to her and I go back to...
Dm                         Gm
 We only said goodbye with words; I died a hundred times.
Bb7                     A7
 You go back to her and I go back to...
