     B 
Your clothes in the dryer 
     G#m                 F#  F#7 
Your hair on the shower wall 
     B 
Your toothbrush is too much 
     G#m                 F#  F#7 
Your shoes empty in the hall 
     B 
Your keys on the counter 
G#m                    E     F# 
Your dirty dish in the sink 
B                     G#m        F#   F#7 
Please, don't make me see these things 
 

    B                           G#m 
The books on your shelf that you never read 
    F#                 E 
The hunting knife you kept by your bed 
    B                     G#m 
The flowers you dried and tied up with twine 
    F#              E 
Suspended from the ceiling 

 

                 G#m                F#            B   E 
You tell me you love me, like it'll be the last time 
               G#m           F#             B    E 
Like you're playing out, the end of a storyline 
                 G#m                F# 
I say I love you too, because it's true 
             B              E 
What else am I supposed to do? 
      G#m        F#                 E 
Maybe bar the door when you move to leave 


                          G#m 
I think you mean what you say 
         F#             B    E 
When you say you wanna die 
                           G#m 
I think you mean what you say 
         F#               B     E 
When you say you want to stay alive 
 

          B 
Quit your job 
         F# 
Cut your hair 
      E 
Get a dog 
            B 
Change your name 
            F# 
Change your mind 
            E 
Change your ways 

Give them time 
              G#m              F# 
Go back to school, go back to sleep 
           B               E 
Tell the secret you can't keep 
  G#m      F# 
Begin, be done 
        B           E 
Break a vow, make a new one 
        G#m            F#              B            E 
Call me if you need a friend, or never talk to me again
