      Gm
Well, guy in a skeleton costume

Bb                         Eb
Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit

                        Gm
Runs through him with a broadsword
I flipped the television off
      Bb                    Eb
Bring all the bright lights up

               Gm
Turn the radio up loud

C
 I don't know why I'm so persuaded

F
 That if I think things through

Eb
Long enough and hard enough

D
 I'll somehow get to you

             Gm
But then you came in and we locked eyes

    C
You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other

           Eb
Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall

D
 And quickly lit another

Gm
Look at that
Would you look at that?
C
 We're throwing off sparks

Gm          F         C          Gm
What will I do when I don't have you

                       D    Gm
To hold onto in the dark?

     Gm
Yes, everybody's gonna need a witness

Bb                             Eb
Everybody's gonna need a little back up

                       Gm
In case the scene gets nasty
You throw the attic window open
      Bb                      Eb
And I throw myself all around you

                        Gm
And night comes to Tallahassee

C                                   F
 I don't know why it's gotten harder to keep myself away

Eb
Thought I'd finally beat the feeling back

D
 It all came back today

            Gm
And then we fell down and we locked arms

   C
We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor

Eb
 I don't mean it when I tell you

D
 That I don't love you anymore

Gm
Look at that
Would you look at that?
C
The way the ceiling starts to swerve

Gm          F         C          Gm
What will I do when I don't have you

                             D    
When I finally get what I deserve?
Gm
