Am                      Am
 Every morning I wake up

From a dream of you, holding me
     D                                  Am
Underwater (Is that a dream or a memory?)
                           Am
Held my breath for a decade
                              D

Sometimes it's good to be the bigger person

But I'm so small I can't compare

And after all, it's only fair, yeah
                      G  Am                       D
I got what I deserved, I was the other woman first
                    C
Other others on the line
                             (nc)
But I kept trying to make it work
