Intro: D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)
             D
No more negotiations dear

                   Bm/Bm7
I'm runnin' out of patience here

                 G            Em
Whisper congratulations in my ear

                             G                    A
When it's clear that we got nothin' much left to say

    D
The monuments and maps

      Bm/Bm7
The skylines and the tourist traps

             G                 Em
Would all do well if they'd collapse

             G                    A
And send you runnin' back here to me
CHORUS
      G                                       D
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

              G              Em
In all the pictures that you send me now

         G                     Em        A
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

D
Cars break down

     Bm/Bm7
And people break down and

G                      A
other things break down too

         Em
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip

           G                 A       D
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A
                      D
Could you be more specific dear

                     Bm/Bm7
Tell me what is so terrific here

                 G                 Em
Don't be to scientific but make it clear

                        G                              A
and never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay
CHORUS
      G                                       D

And now I think I'm breakin' down on you

             G                      D
Have another sedative It gets so repetitive

               G               D
And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K.

            G                              D
And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice

    Em                       G
If ever it'll help me get through the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,
