Intro:  G  Em   Am C   G  

Verse 
G 
Baby I'm sorry to call you so late, 
Em 
Oh I forget I can't call you that name. 
Am                                C 
Still make those slips all of the time, 
                        G 
Don't know when I'll get better. 

G 
I think to the night that you handed me back, 
Em 
Records we shared and the life that we had. 
Am                              C 
You said in that condescending tone, 
              G 
I'll never forget you. 

 
D              C 
She's in your jeans, 
      G 
But I don't care. 
D              C 
 You were my dream. 
       G 
Now my nightmare. 


Verse 
        G 
At your sisters' wedding I gave all that I had, 
     Em 
Your father was cold and your mother was sad. 
   Am                             C 
I thought to myself they were like you and I, 
        G 
When we last met. 

   G 
My love is a nail I can't pull out with plyers, 
     Em 
The lovers I've had have been gaslighting liars. 
   Am                        C 
Don't know what that says about me, 
                G 
But I just give in. 

I mean it now it's making me ill. 


D              C 
She's in your jeans, 
      G 
But I don't care. 
D              C 
 You were my dream. 
       G 
Now my nightmare. 


Bridge 
Am           C               G  
  So call me when, you break up. 
              Am 
As you always do, 
                C          G 
I can't promise I will pick up, 
                  n.c. 
I'm done with you. 

 
D              C 
She's in your jeans,

But I don't care. 
D              C 
 You were my dream. 
       G 
Now my nightmare.
