Please note these aren't the right chords! They are there to help with the timing of the fingerpicking, the
chords are based on a G, F# and E but they are definitely not exactly a G, F# and E. I copied the already
existing tab so those credits aren't going to me!

[Verse]
The Ghorse with the wings never F#turned up for the party
And I Ewonder how long 'til he F#comes looking for me
So I Gwait in the room by the F#river and I watch the world gEo byF#  
And I Ghear a girl cry and I F#notice the sound it comes from my own Emouth
And I hear your wordF#s. "What have I dGone now?”F#  
“What have I Edone now?”F#  
I Glook to the floor and you looF#k to the hallway
And you Esay, "I'm sorry for F#whatever it is and I Gfeel myself groan
'Cause I F#know I've lived with you herEe for years nF#ow
And the Gscratching of the metal as you're F#putting on the kettle
Makes my Eskin crawl and I F#feel small"
And the Gbirds slip through the crF#acks in the glass
And there's Eblood on the floorF#  
[Chorus]
GWhen F#will this Eday break?F#  
GWhen F#will my Eheart ache?F#  
GWhen F#will this Eday break?F#  
GWhen F#will I Efind my place?F#  
[Verse]
Don't Gtalk to me like I'm a shell F#you found
On the beach and you Eput to your ear to F#hear how
Clear I sound, Gyou say, "Sing me a song”
Like IF#'ve nothing better to do than sing sEongs for youF#  
You Ghang me on the wall so I'm F#taller than before
And I Efeel like I might fall but I F#don’t
I Ghang there quietly F#watching the life we lead
Like Eit's a prize I could F#never win, a Gsea I cF#ould never swimE  F#  
[Chorus]
GWhen F#will this Eday break?F#  
GWhen F#will my Eheart ache?F#  
GWhen F#will this Eday break?F#
