Standard (EADGBE)

Sweeping up plaster

Mopping the floor

Washing the windows

Cleaning the closets

Closing the door

 Filling the cracks

 Out in the hall

 Scraping the paint

 Off of the wall

 Changing the lock

[C6/9]

Turning the key

 Letting you go

 Away from me

Knowing it’s better

Here in my head

Doing the laundry

Washing the dishes

Making the bed

 Nothing to fight

 Nothing to choose

 Maybe it’s good

 Learning to lose

 Maybe I’ll shine

 Finally free

 Letting you go

 Away from me

If I were smart

 If I were strong

 If I could just

 Say I was wrong

 Say it was me

 Say I could move

 Make you believe

 These things improve

 Could I forget

 All of the cracks

 Deep in the ground

 Under our tracks

 And if I could

 Then would you see

 Or would you go away

 Would you go away

 Facing the facts

 Watching the clock

 Maybe you’ll change

 Just down the block

 And if you did

 Where would I be?

 Letting you go

 Away from me
