INTRO Em G Cmaj7 B7 Em G VERSE 1
Cmaj7         B7      Em
I read in the paper today

            G               Cmaj7     B7
It's been a record year for rainfall

             Em                           G
And you were leaning against the bathroom wall

        Cmaj7        B7
In your lonely dress

         Em         G   Cmaj7  B7
Was your only dress
Em G Cmaj7
Cmaj7   B7
stand accusing

across

        G              Cmaj7   B7
I got a temper set for tender

Em                                   G
And you were shrugging it off like a feather

       Cmaj7   B7
Saying "oh...

                       Em        G  Cmaj7
Would you look at this weather"
CHORUS
Cmaj7      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?

      G                   Cmaj7
Is to remember you in the entire

       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away

           G             Cmaj7
And in the annuls of the empire

       B7
Did it look this gray

           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the falllllll

           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the falllllll
Em G Cmaj7 B7 Em G VERSE 2
   Cmaj7     B7        Em
So rake your thumbnail across

    G              Cmaj7   B7
The stretch of the patina

Em                G
Revealing a proserpina

     Cmaj7       B7
In a low recline

     Em              G  Cmaj7
In a steep decline
CHORUS
Cmaj7      B7            Em
What's the use of all of this?

      G                   Cmaj7
Is to remember you in the entire

       B7               Em
As i'm watching it slip away

           G             Cmaj7
And in the annuls of the empire

       B7
Did it look this gray?
Does it look so gray? Does it always look so gray
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the faaaallllll?

           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
Before the faaaallllll?
