<Intro>
    Em    A72x
<<VERSE>>
(  Em  A7)
I got the letter you left under my door
Knocked me on my ass to the floor
Never knew two words could take such a bite
It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."
(  Em  A7)
I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade
Saw two shadows go to town on the shade
I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my
It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy
<<BRIDGE>>
BYou told me you loved me, 'tAil death do us part
BSo tell me there's a tombstone where there Dused to be a heart
<<Chorus>>
You said you Emcouldn't live without me
So Awhy aren't you dead?
Instead of Emsix feet under you're in Asomeone else's bed
There's Emjust one thing that I can't gBet through my head
You said you Acouldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?
( Em  A7)

I cut your face out of our old photographs
And all the junk you left behind's in the trash
Well, I hoped you were a goner for sure
Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure

BAshes to ashes, Adust to dust
If you Bcan't trust the livin' baby Dwho can you trust?
