Oh, and Awhen will our Dmaj7heartbeats Afall into two Dmaj7lines
And the Aclick-clack of our Dmaj7boot heels Abeat out the same Dmaj7time
Oh, and Awhen will your hand Dmaj7find itself in Amine?E  
Oh, and Awhen will your hand Dmaj7find itself in Amine?E  
And though I Adon't know your real Dmaj7name
Your real Aage, or your Dmaj7shoe size
I will Aleave this bedroom Dmaj7chair
And this Akeyboard Dmaj7behind
And I will Alove you in reDmaj7ality and AdreamsE  
And I will Alove you in reDmaj7ality and AdreamsE  
(Repeat this pattern for all verses and choruses)
And though it kills me to know
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who'll put real kisses on you
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
And so this lonely, lonely hull
Has no use left for living
After finding her love
In a heart so unpermitting
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
But AI'll kiss my Dmaj7lips and I'll Ablow it to Eyou
It'll Abe the last Dmaj7thing that AI ever Edo
And Awherever you Dmaj7go and Awhatever you Edo
There's a Aman underDmaj7ground that will Aalways love Eyou
Oh, Awherever you Dmaj7go and Awhatever you Edo
There's a Aman underDmaj7ground that will Aalways love Eyou
AOh, wherever Dmaj7you go Aand whatever Eyou do
There's a Aman underDmaj7ground that will Aalways love Eyou

A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7

Oh, and when will our heartbeats fall into two lines

A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7

And the click-clack of our boot heels beat out the same time

A Dmaj7 A E

Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?

A Dmaj7 A E

Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?

A Dmaj7

And though I don't know your real name

A Dmaj7

Your real age, or your shoe size

A Dmaj7

I will leave this bedroom chair

A Dmaj7

And this keyboard behind

A Dmaj7 A E

And I will love you in reality and dreams

A Dmaj7 A E

And I will love you in reality and dreams

(Repeat this pattern for all verses and choruses)

And though it kills me to know

That when we are through

You go to your real lover

Who'll put real kisses on you

Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do

And so this lonely, lonely hull

Has no use left for living

After finding her love

In a heart so unpermitting

And I will die and never ever hold your hand

A Dmaj7 A E

But I'll kiss my lips and I'll blow it to you

A Dmaj7 A E

It'll be the last thing that I ever do

A Dmaj7 A E

And wherever you go and whatever you do

A Dmaj7 A E

There's a man underground that will always love you

A Dmaj7 A E

Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do

A Dmaj7 A E

There's a man underground that will always love you

A Dmaj7 A E

Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do

A Dmaj7 A E

There's a man underground that will always love you
