[Intro] A A D/F# Dm A A D/F# Dm [Verse 1]
A
 I met a new me at 8 am,

Amaj7
 The other one got lost

A7
 This was not a trade in,

D
 Although I wouldn't believe the cost

Dm
 I woke up crying as we said goodbye

A
 Me an my old self,

F#m
 Each day he vanished more and more

Bm                        E
 As I became someone else
[Verse 2]
A
 He actually was murdered

Amaj7
 I had taken him apart

A7
 But when I put him back together,

D
 I couldn't find his heart

Dm
 It was resting underneath a chair,

A
 In a bed of bright tin foil

F#m
 If I pulled back the flaps,

Bm
 I could still see it beat

E
 I could still hear his voice uncoil, As I said :
[Chorus]
A                Amaj7                      A7
 I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life

D                                      A
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces

F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
[Verse 3]
A
 How could I have been so mistaken,

Amaj7
 How could I think that it was true

A7
 A child that is raised by an idiot,

D
 And that idiot then becomes you

A
 How could I believe in a movie,

Amaj7
 How could I believe in a book

A7
 But most of all how could I listen to you,

D
 Such an obvious schmuck

Dm
 A life spent listening to assholes,

A
 It's funny but it's true

F#m
 So get rid of them I said to myself

Bm                               E
 But first I'm getting rid of you
[Chorus]
A                Amaj7                      A7
 I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life

D
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces

A F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
[Verse 4]
A
 Take me over to the window,

Amaj7
 my heart said to my head

A7
 Please set me on fire,

D
 so we can start again

Dm
 I was so wrong that it's funny,

A
 and I can't apologize

F#m                                       Bm                         E
 But instead you can be everything that I'm not, the second that I die
[Chorus]
E        A                Amaj7                          A7
 Ooohhh, I want a trade in, the second chance at this life

D
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces

A F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
[Outro]
A  A  D/F#  Dm
 Ha!

A                       A   D/F#                 Dm
 A 14th chance at this life, I want a trade in ...

A                  A    D/F#                       Dm
 ... I said ... uuuhhh, 14th, 14th chance at this life
A A D/F# Dm
