Capo 2
G-C-G  
If heaven's where your soul gets fed
Your hell is an empty bed
But it's (C) never hard to keep it full
There ain't too many arms you have to pull (G)
'Cause you think that you're getting love
But they know they're just getting some
And (C) deep inside you know it's true
But you don't dare believe it, (G) do you? Do you?
Chorus:  You just lay it (C) down like a quarter on the railroad track (Em)
If it (D) sticks to the wheel you're never gonna get it back (C)
It won't do you no good to change your mind (Em)
'Cause (D) it already fell off (C) somewhere down the line
Now (D) all the boys call you when they're (C) looking for a good time
Looking for a good time (Em-C-Em-C)
These (G) days they call it casual
Well, that just (Em) means they'll leave when they get full
Yeah, they (C) say you're cool 'cause you don't care
But in the morning you always cry if they're not (G) there (D)
And you think if (G) they could only see you now
But I (Em) swear they'd do it anyhow
'Cause they'll say (C) anything to play the part
But they don't give a damn about your (Em) heart, your heart (D)
Chorus
(D) You say you never tell the (C) boys how bad you need (G) it
(D) But every scream is your (C) prayer
(D) You say, "I love you" and you (C) swear you didn't mean (Em) it
(A) 'Cause you both agree this would go (C) nowhere
Someday (G) I hope that you get tired
Of (Em) waking up with thieves and liars
Maybe (C) you'll go searching for the truth
The kind that ain't written on a phone (Em) booth, no, no (D)
Chorus
