     G                          Bm
Well she calls me up when she's broken

 C                          G
Says to leave my front door open

  Em                    Bm
I come home to find her smoking

         C                    Dadd4
With her eyes all fragile and thin

      G                        Bm
She's always been hopeless at hoping

C                        G
Always coped badly with coping

    Em                       Bm
And I never know when she's joking

    C                   Dadd4
She never lets anyone in
[Chorus]
C
  I know I'm a fool to let her

G                     C  Cadd2 C
Run away with my heart

G                  C                  Dadd4
  But she'll never tire of these games

C                      G     D             C
  Loving her is like playing catch in the dark

       G             C        Dadd4
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flames
[Instrumental] G Bm C C* Gsus4 G5 Em7 Bm C C* Dadd4 [Verse]
            G                    Bm
Yeah, we'll drink too much for a Wednesday

       C                       G
She'll ask me why none of her men stay

  Em                        Bm
I tell her just what her friends say

       C                    Dadd4
And it never goes down too well

           G                          Bm
And she'll stay here 'til late in the evening

          C                  G
But she's always arriving or leaving

    Em                  Bm
She never decides to believe in

    C                          Dadd4
The people who know her so well
[Chorus]
C
  And I'm a fool to let her

G                     C  Cadd2 C
Run away with my heart

G               C                 Dadd4
  She'll never tire of these games

C                          G     D             C
  And loving her is like playing catch in the dark

       G             C        Dadd4  Em Em7 Em
I'm a teardrop in an ocean of flames
[Bridge]
        C                       G
And she says if we're single at 40

          B7                      Em
We'll get married and move to the country

C                        G     C   Dadd4
But I know she'll never want me
[Outro]
G                       Bm
  And it's 5:15 in the morning

C                             G
  I reach for her whilst I'm yawning

Em*
  She leaves me with no warning
