    G
i'm throwing away pictures
that i never should have
             D 
taken in the first place

         G
and it's cold in my apartment
as i'm changing all the colors
         D                      A
from the brightest reds to grays
[Refrain 2]
          Bm
well it's 3 o'clock
on monday morning
G
i'm just hoping you're

           D       A
not seeing his face

          Bm
i've been getting calls
in these hotel rooms
G
long enough to know

            D
that it was him

                  A
that took my place
[Chorus 1]
                D
and i hope this makes
you happy now that the flame we
G
had is burning out
and i hope you like your
D/F#
pictures facing down

               A
as even broken hearts
may have their doubts Interlude: Bass G---D [Verse 2]
        G
and i'm burning
all the letters hoping that i might forget
            D
her and her bad taste

         G
that she left when
she was leaving me a life of barely breathing
       D                       A
as she walked out of this place
[Refrain 2]
        Bm
and you dropped the note
and we changed key
    G
you changed yourself
and i changed me
  D
i really didn't see us

        A
singing through this

          Bm
then you screamed the
bridge and i cried the verse
        G   
and our chorus came
out unrehearsed
         D
and you smiled the
whole way through it
        A
i guess maybe that's
what's worse (Repeat Chorus 1) [Chorus 2] and i'm taking all your
Bm
memories off the shelf
and i don't need
       G
you or anybody else

                  D
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
                 A
when you get home
[Bridge]
Bm
take me home
i'd rather die
             G
than be with you
take me home you have a problem
         D
with the truth
take me home because this happens
      A
every time
i knew it would... i knew it would... (Repeat) (Repeat Chorus 1) (Repeat chorus 2)
