Chords

[Verse 1]
       Gm        Eb         F
Your accountant called this morning

 Cm         Gm       Ab      Gm
There was springtime in his heart

 D7    Gm        Eb  F
He couldn't wait to tell me

 Cm      Gm         Eb  Ab/Eb C Fm
How he'd pulled our lives apa - art

                          Bb6
And the letter from your lawyer

                      Cm
Lies unopened on the tray

      Ab6            Bb6               Eb
I may get around to reading it later today
[Verse 2]
         Gm        Eb    F
Walking round the lonely rooms

 Cm    Gm  Ab         Gm
I see everything the same

 D7  Gm      Eb F
But suddenly it matters

 Cm       Bb6     Eb/Db   Ab/Eb C Fm
What was purchased in my na  -  me

                          Bb6
Whether this or that was paid for

                 Cm
Belongs to me or you

                     Ab6          Bb6       Eb
Can the seven years together be divided by two
[Chorus]
                           Abmaj7
It says something for the legal boys

                    Ab6
But nothing much for us

                 Cm/G
That all we had together

                     G7
Is so quickly ended thus

                   Abmaj7
The legal boys have won again

                    Ab6
And you and I have lost

                           Cm/G
They can't tell us how it happened

                             Ab
But they'll let us know the cost

                            Bb6      Eb
Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
           Gm      Eb      F
There's a lot I'd like to tell you

 Cm    Gm        Ab        Gm
But I can't get past your guards

   Gm          Eb    F
I don't speak their language

 Cm       Bb6         Ab/Eb C Fm
And they hold all the ca - rds

                         Bb6
I would rather call you darling

                       Cm
Than defendant in the case

            Ab6        Bb6
But lovers left here long ago

                        Eb
And clients took their place
[Chorus]
                           Abmaj7
It says something for the legal boys

                    Ab6
But nothing much for us

                 Cm/G
That all we had together

                     G7
Is so quickly ended thus

                   Abmaj7
The legal boys have won again

                    Ab6
And you and I have lost

                           Cm/G
They can't tell us how it happened

                             Ab
But they'll let us know the cost

                            Bb6      Eb
Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah
