G#              Fm                   Cm
All around the room your things are placed
                                    G#
And next to you he fills the space
          Fm                Cm
And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
G#               Fm              Cm
The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
G#                       Fm
You thought that he was wanting you,
Cm
But he was only wanting you to
A#   Cm  C#   F#
Let him off the hook

G#  Fm  Cm  G#  Fm  Cm

G#           Fm        Cm
He was your imaginary friend,
Cm                        G#
You were partners til the end
               Fm                 Cm
Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
          G#          Fm            Cm
Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
       G#                      Fm              Cm
Youʼre vexed, it seems youʼre hexed and after sex he expects
               A#   Cm  C#    F#
Youʼll let him off the hook til

Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
G#      Fm       D#                  C#
Shaken while he stirred.  When you awaken you will
G#        Fm      A#     Cm    C#   F#   G#    Fm Cm G# Fm Cm
Make him eat his words right off the hook

G#               Fm                  Cm
The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
                              G#
The souvenirs of men who cheat
             Fm                Cm
It all makes sense - with each offense

You wanted to believe him
G#            Fm               Cm
He could get away with murder one,
                                   G#
And you would clean the smoking gun
           Fm                     Cm
With every crime, you bought each line,

But not this time, youʼll make him
A#   Cm  C#     F#
Eat his words cause

Make him eat his, make him eat his
G#           Fm   D#
Words while heʼs alone,
      C#
Cause you wonʼt be around and
G#        Fm      A#     Cm    C#   F#  G#    Fm D# C#
