               G                  C 
So you fell in love and it wasn't with me 
           G                            C 
Hey that's fine, it's about time I let go 
             G                  C 
But whatever curse you put here in me 
             G                           C 
Well can you lift it babe before I hit the road? 

           A                C             G 
You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky 
           A                 C               G 
You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool's gold 
             A                    C             G 
You were the jet plane, I was the parachute failing 
          A             C                  G 
i was the cheap ad when you were the centerfold 


                G           C     Cm 
Then my sun set hard on carolina 
          G                              C     Cm 
Where she howled about the pender county line 
                   G                                    C     Cm 
And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy's body 
           G                                  C     Cm 
in younger dreams I though that body might be mine 

           A                   C             G 
You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky 
             A                C         G 
Now you're a mother and i'm a flashback son 
           A                     C                 G 
Yeah i'm a wasteland, you've got all your milk and honey 
         A                C                G 
And back then I swore you were the only one

So disenchant me baby, i've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone 
                  C 
Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby so sweet 
      D 
Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two 
                                                    C 
That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you 
                     Cm 
Yeah, I made it with you 

                     G                   C 
But now the bars are closed and the city sleeps tight 
     G                               C 
As I ramble home my wretched merry way 
      G                                C 
Where down was up and feeling bad felt so right. 
  G                                C 
I thought that vertigo was here to stay 

                          A                    C                  G 
We're talking hellfire, but at the time, it seemed funny 
           A                C             G 
When all the demons left the woodwork to play 
        A           C             G 
With an angel and a heartbreak junky 
           A                C             G 
Stuck in their rock bottom masquerade

So when eden burns behind you in the rearview 
           C                           G    F 
And you're off to find a stranger paradise 
              C 
Where you can sing your own way out 
          G         D          C

       D                            C   Cm 
With a sweet-talk woman fading slowly 
Cm 
On a lovesick mind
