Separate Bedrooms

	  		


Intro: Em 

Em                                                   D 
 You say that you've been better but I only hear you crying now 
Em                                                         D 
 In the middle of the night when you're asleep inside that empty house 
         C                D                          Em 
Pictures hang to serve as reminders of memories from years ago 
               C            D                    G 
A vacation you took with an old boyfriend to the west coast 


               C                   D          G 
But it was too hot, and it was too hard to be comfortable 
                      C           D                   G       Em 
In the black hills in June at the foot of that Indian statue 
                C                      D                      G 
Carved into the side of a mountain you paid all that money to see 
                 C                        D                         G 
And all that you saw was some rock but it made you feel grateful to be 


             C       D                 G 
You bought a postcard with its picture on it 
                 C            D                G 
And you're gonna send it back home to your family 


Em                                                             D 
 You say that you're still angry, you just hate the thought of fighting now 
Em                                                   D 
 And a heart can only hate someone so much before it burns out 
         C               D                      G 
Like cigarettes pressed against the glass of an ashtray 
                 C                          D           G 
At first he felt good, but then he made you nauseous everyday 


               C                   D          G 
But it was too hot, and it was too hard to be comfortable 
                  C                       D                        G     Em 
In that miserable house that you did your best to make feel like a home 
              C                     D                     G 
And after the arguments you'd go to different bedrooms to sleep 
               C                              D                        G 
But all by yourself in the dark, you couldn't help feeling grateful to be 


                  C       D                       G 
And you found the postcard with that worn picture on it 
               C                        D                  G 
That you never sent but instead kept it taped in an old diary
