Selection chords: Sofia Davis

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

F#  D#m  A#m  F#  D#m  A#m

F#           D#m        A#m
He was your imaginary friend,
A#m                        F#
You were partners til the end
               D#m                 A#m
Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
          F#          D#m            A#m
Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
       F#                      D#m              A#m
Youʼre vexed, it seems youʼre hexed and after sex he expects
               G#   A#m  B    E
Youʼll let him off the hook til
F#         D#m       C#                    B
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
F#      D#m       C#                  B
Shaken while he stirred.  When you awaken you will
F#        D#m      G#     A#m    B   E   F#    D#m A#m F# D#m A#m
Make him eat his words right off the hook

F#               D#m                  A#m
The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
                              F#
The souvenirs of men who cheat
             D#m                A#m
It all makes sense - with each offense

You wanted to believe him
F#            D#m               A#m
He could get away with murder one,
                                   F#
And you would clean the smoking gun
           D#m                     A#m
With every crime, you bought each line,

But not this time, youʼll make him
G#   A#m  B     E
Eat his words cause

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

F# D#m  A#m    F#    D#m  A#m
Every Time, Hook and line
F# D#m  A#m    F#    D#m  G#    A#m B E
Every time, Hook and line

F#         D#m       C#                    B
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
F#      D#m       C#
Shaken while he stirred
         B
When you awaken you will
F#        D#m       G#     A#m B   E
Make him eat his, make him eat his
F#           D#m   C#
Words while heʼs alone,
      B
Cause you wonʼt be around and
F#        D#m      G#     A#m    B   E  F#    D#m C# B
From now on the phone stays off the hook

F#    D#m  C#    B
Hook and line,

F#  D#m G# A#m B E F#
