IC#mt's the tearing sound of lF#move notes
Drowning out G#these gray-stained winEdowsB  
And the C#mview outside is sterF#mile

I'd photocopy aC#mll the things that wF#me could be
If you tBook the time to notEice Bme
But you can't nC#mow, I don't bF#mlame you
And it's nBot your fault that Eno one eBver does
[Chorus]
EBut you don't work here, aA#nymore
It's just a Bvacant Athree-by-G#four
EAnd they might fill your A#place
A temporary sBtand-in fC#mor your facG#e

[Intro]

C#m F#m G# E B

[Verse 1]

C#m F#m

It's the tearing sound of love notes

G# E B

Drowning out these gray-stained windows

C#m F#m

And the view outside is sterile

And I'm only two cubes down

C#m F#m

I'd photocopy all the things that we could be

B E B

If you took the time to notice me

C#m F#m

But you can't now, I don't blame you

B E B

And it's not your fault that no one ever does

[Chorus]

E A#

But you don't work here, anymore

B A G#

It's just a vacant three-by-four

E A#

And they might fill your place

B C#m G#

A temporary stand-in for your face

[Post-Chorus]

E A#

This happens all the time

B A G#m

And I can't help but think I'll die, alone

[Interlude]

C#m F#m G# E B

[Verse 2]

C#m F#m

So, I'll spend my time with strangers

G# E B

A condition and it's terminal

C#m F#m

In this water-cooler romance

And it's coming to a close

E C#m F#m

We could be in the park and dancing by a tree

G# E B

Kicking over blades we see

C#m F#m

Or a dark beach with a black view

G# E B

And pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall

[Chorus]

E A#

But you don't work here, anymore

B A G#

It's just a vacant three-by-four

E A#

And they might fill your place

B C#m G#m

A temporary stand-in for your face
