this I adore. 
CHORUS-
A               Ab
& then like a locomotive
                       C#m                                A
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
          F#m
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
           A                        B
But I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
C#m               A
I’d rather be alone
                         F#m
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
      A                            B
but pain will roll off like water on feather.
