BI looked you up and down 
A6I liked everything I saw 
BFrom the fragile outline of your hips
A6To the trembling movement in your jaw
BBut when the coffee cup shattered on the Bmaj7kitchen floor
AYou said that you couldn't Etake it anymore
BI knew you were leaving
AI knew you were going Eto BristBol
BI watched you pack your bags
A6I saw you head out to the door
BBut when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock
A6You said that you couldn't take it anymore
BThat was the second time you said that Bmaj7in one day
AWhy don't you just sit still, iEt's going to be OK
BGoing to Bristol
AI knew you were going Eto BristBol
The chords during the chorus sound very nice as power chords, but a full barre will do as well.
This song can also be done in the key of C really well, just alternate between C 
and F7, and at the chorus use a G and Em
