I was your sailor, your demon
         D     A         D          Gbm
Your lover, your overbearing best friend

Hoping for some attention
 Dbm     D                     A    D
I saw through your automatic heartache

It's downhill from here

Dbm      D
Let that be a lesson to me

Your TV, your everlasting talk show host
                            E
Mouthing "Baby, you're wonderful"
   Dbm     D
I fell under your control
        A          D     A
Switch on, switch off, robotic
 D     Gbm                        E
And I lost every ounce of myself
