Verse:
E
I think that being in love with me felt like a job to you,
A
not something you really wanted but just something you had to do,
       Dbm
so you complete your tasks, you do your chores, take out the trash and sweep the floors,
A                                          B
and a job well done is kind of fulfilling, but nothing feels as good as going home
 
Pre-chorus:
E
And you gave me a two-week notice, even if you didn’t say it explicitly,
A
you gave me a two-week warning, you didn’t have to tell me- I knew that you would leave,
Dbm
for better hours or better pay, better management at a better place,
A
and if retail has taught me anything, if people wanna go, you should let them go
 
Chorus:
E
Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,
A
a silent resignation, God- that’s just like you,
       Dbm
you’re a no-call no-show kinda guy, doing just what you gotta do to get by,
                     A                                    B                    E
and if you wanted to freelance I don’t know why you ever applied to a 9 to 5
 
Verse:
E
And so I took bereavement, when your love for me died,
A
I was never any good at loss prevention, I keep you if I tried,
     Dbm
I’m overworked and underpaid, and you used me to boost your resume,
A                        B
so it’s probably for the better if I lock up alone
 
Pre-chorus:
E
And you gave me a two-week notice, even if you didn’t say it explicitly,
A
you gave me a two-week warning, you didn’t have to tell me- I knew that you would leave,
Dbm
for better hours or better pay, better management at a better place,
A
and if retail has taught me anything, if people wanna go, you should let them go
 
Chorus:
E
Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,
A
a silent resignation, God- that’s just like you,
       Dbm
you’re a no-call no-show kinda guy, doing just what you gotta do to get by,
                     A                                    B
and if you wanted to freelance I don’t know why you ever applied to a 9 to 5
 
Link:
E
to a 9-5
 
Bridge:
Dbm
I don’t need to know
B
why you wanted to go,
A
just that you didn’t want to
Gb7
stay,
A
but it’s okay
B
Because
E
you gave me a two-week notice,
A
you gave me a two-week notice,
Dbm
you gave me a two-week notice,
A                        B
you gave me, you gave me,you gave me...
 
Chorus:

Nobody can replace you, but I’m gonna try to,

and if you wanted to freelance I don’t know why you ever applied to a 9 to 5
A            Dbm        B        A        E
