You can play them barred or regular
Intro:  D   G   D   E7  D  
White kitchen walls with a thousand wGindows
You turn on winsten in the dDen
And I'm still sleep but I can hE7ear the piano
GWhen you make breakfast after 1D0
DAnd I smell the coffee on your finGgers
Still smell the perfune in thDe air
The crushed linen roses on eE7verything
GAnd you're still inside my Dhead
You gotta make her know how it Gfeels
To miss you, let her know that you're swapping Dsides
you're not the one with aE7ll the problems
No nGo, you're the one with all the pDride
So just pick your head up boys, and Gjust walk away
Walk the coolest walk that you kDnow
Cause in amonth or two sheE7'll call you
You gotta hGang up the phone
DAnd I hope she knows I've got thiGs memory,
that won't ever seem to break or Dbend
A thick lock and sheet rock is on E7my windows
In the kitchen oGh, I don't think I'll take them Ddown again
And i've learned a lot from all theGse break ups and make ups and FUCK UPs and fake ups
Things I that I wish you could Dcomprend
Yeah, comprend, but for now I'll lE7ace up my wing tip shoes and
GGoing out for breakfast with my good Dfriends

And I smell the coffee on your fingers

Still smell the perfune in the air

The crushed linen roses on everything

And you're still inside my head

You gotta make her know how it feels

To miss you, let her know that you're swapping sides

you're not the one with all the problems

No no, you're the one with all the pride

So just pick your head up boys, and just walk away

Walk the coolest walk that you know

Cause in amonth or two she'll call you

You gotta hang up the phone

D G

And I hope she knows I've got this memory,

that won't ever seem to break or bend

A thick lock and sheet rock is on my windows

G D

In the kitchen oh, I don't think I'll take them down again

And i've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups and FUCK UPs and fake ups

Things I that I wish you could comprend

Yeah, comprend, but for now I'll lace up my wing tip shoes and

Walk the coolest walk that you know I know you know

E7 G

In a month or two, she'll call you, you gotta hang up the phone.

Good if you've just broke up with a girl, so pass it along if you've got a
