This is a very simple song with the same four chords throughout. It builds up on 
the 4th verse and keeps building until the last two verses where it dies down a bit.
Whatd you get inCto
Dirtied your truEmst, love
Breaking like balAmlroom glass
Hanging on neGck slack
Trashy wool jeCwelry
Drenching in aftEmer-shave
Who did you clAming to
Genuine leatGher
Sports car uCpholstery
Revoking your eEmyes to
Cringe at the thAmought of
Sandpaper shGeets.
Whatd we get Cinto
Squander the wEmords that
Stumble on whiskAmey thoughts.
You just preteGnd to
Distance yoursCelf from 
acting so inEmnocent
With shimmering eAmyes that 
roll at my wGords.
C Em Am G
I'm just prCetending 
I didn't see Emyou
Fold up the lAmetter 
put it back in my Gpocket.
Glance at the dCoor
uncomfortable sEmilence.
Cause there's sAmtill a war 
on the coffee taGble.

Chords in this song · guitar

This is a very simple song with the same four chords throughout. It builds up on

the 4th verse and keeps building until the last two verses where it dies down a bit.

Whatd you get into

Dirtied your trust, love

Breaking like ballroom glass

Hanging on neck slack

Trashy wool jewelry

Drenching in after-shave

Who did you cling to

Genuine leather

Sports car upholstery

Revoking your eyes to

Cringe at the thought of

Sandpaper sheets.

Whatd we get into

Squander the words that

Stumble on whiskey thoughts.

You just pretend to

Distance yourself from

acting so innocent

With shimmering eyes that

roll at my words.

C Em Am G

I'm just pretending

I didn't see you

Fold up the letter

put it back in my pocket.

Glance at the door

uncomfortable silence.

Cause there's still a war

on the coffee table.
