And Efucked away the Bpain
We C#mwent out for some Acoffee
Then we Bdid it all again

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Never said what I was thinking

A B

The night you turned up at my door

I could tell that you'd been drinking

A B

As we went crashing to the floor

You came from Santa Monica

A B

With teardrops in your eyes

We passed out in the shadows

A B

Of a lonely Thursday night

[Pre-chorus]

C#m A

We kissed away our memories

E B

And fucked away the pain

C#m A

We went out for some coffee

Then we did it all again

[Chorus Riff]
