Intro:
D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)
No more negotDiations dear
                   Bm/Bm7  
I'm runnin' out of patience here
Whisper congratulGations in my Emear
When it's clear that we got nGothin' much left to sAay

The skylines and the tourist traps
Would all do Gwell if they'd colEmlapse
And send you Grunnin' back here to Ame
CHORUS
Well wGho said "Absence makes the heart grow foDnder"?
In all the picGtures that you Emsend me now
Your hair Gseems to get just a lEmittle bit Ablonder
DCars break down

And people break down and
Gother things break down Atoo
I felt soEmmethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I tGhink I'm breakin' Adown on Dyou
 D  Bm/ Bm7   G   Em   G  A  
Could you be more specDific dear
                     Bm/Bm7  
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be to scienGtific but make it Emclear
and never fear I'll be sGcratchin' it down my nails in cAlay
CHORUS
Well wGho said "Absence makes the heart grow foDnder"?
In all the picGtures that you Emsend me now

And people break down and
Gother things break down Atoo
I felt soEmmethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I tGhink I'm breakin' Adown on Dyou
Have another Gsedative It gets so repDetitive
And don't do a Gdamn to help me Dfeel O.K.

If eEmver it'll help me get thrGough the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,
