Em7                                  D   
Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races

Em7                                    D 
One more night of running my mind over lost embraces

Em7                                           
The steps you made when you walked away

D                          G     
Still frozen in the ground

G                 A      G   
Oh missie how you let me down

G                 A      G
Oh missie how you let me down

G                 A      Bm
Oh missie how you let me down

Em7                     A
And lies won't break my fall

Em7                 G
Lies won't break my fall

Em7                                     D
Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be

Em7                                     D
The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me

Em7                     D                               G
Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around

G                 A       G     
Oh missie how you let me down

G                 A       Bm                    
Oh missie how you let me down

A                                      F#m
For far too long you kept me waiting

                                     G
Reaching out into empty air

A                                       F#m
Even now you'd never say it face to face

         G
That you really don't care

       A
And if you never liked pulling teeth

     D                              G                 Bm
Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair
Em
Em7                                     D       
Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did

Em7                                     D
I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid

Em7
Or maybe I should just take a match

D                               G
And burn the whole thing to the ground

G               A        G      
Oh missie how you let me down

G               A       G       
Oh missie how you let me down

G               A       Bm
Oh missie how you let me down

Em7                     A
And lies won't break my fall

Em7             G       
Lies won't break my fall
