                    G
Started out like it always starts

               Em
Try to hold my hunger back

                       Am
You don’t anticipate a broken heart

                          D
Can’t see nothing but the track

                       G
A diamond earring in a Bowery bed

            G/F#   Em
kicked your shoes across the floor

                           Am
You regret the things that went unsaid

                        D
Or have you heard it all before
[Chorus]
D Cadd9             G                D
Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner

   D Cadd9       G               D
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?

D Cadd9                 G                D
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor

                D/B    D/C   D/G   D
But that’s your way
[Verse 2]
                     G
And it ended like it always ends

                   Em
Somebody crying on the phone

                            Am
You tell each other you can still be friends

                     D
You both know you’re on your own

                      G
My own behavior was a shock to me

                    Em
I never thought I’d have the nerve

                                   Am
I hope you’re sleeping through the night, Eileen

                         D
I hope they’re grading on the curve
[Chorus]
D Cadd9             G                D
Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner

   D Cadd9       G               D
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?

D Cadd9                 G                D
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor

                D/B    D/C   D/G   D
But that’s your way, that's your way
[Interlude] D/B D/C D/G
D/B D/C D/G D
D/Em D/C D/G
D/B D/C D/G D [Bridge]
                  G
Somebody broke my heart once

                  Em
And I was useless for a week

                  Am
I didn’t leave my apartment

                      D
I didn’t eat, I didn’t speak

                      G
But then I found the letter she wrote

                  Em
Against the wall behind the bed

                       Am
Said forever is a dead man’s joke

                    D
And that’s the only thing it said
[Chorus]
D Cadd9             G                D
Eileen, you shoulda seen this coming sooner

   D Cadd9       G               D
Do I mean to be alone for all my days?

D Cadd9                 G                D
Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor

                D/B    D/C   D/G   D 
But that’s your way, that's your way
[Outro] D/B D/C D/G D
