G Em7Bm
(Piano): x2
Verse:
G Em7 Bm
All around the room your things are placed
And next to you he fills the space
G Em7 Bm
And so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
G Em7 Bm
The pictures of the two of you on holiday, on honeymoon
G Em7
You thought that he was wanting you,
Bm A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F# G Em7 Bm
But he was only wanting you to let him off the hook
G Em7 Bm
G Em7 Bm
He was your imaginary friend, you were partners til the end
G Em7 Bm
Then something bends, and then it breaks, your worst mistake
G Em7 Bm
Accepting enemies on bended knees; a litany of tragedies,
G Em7 Bm
You're vexed, it seems you're hexed and after sex he expects
A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F#
You'll let him off the hook til

G Em7 A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F#
Make him eat his words right off the
G Em7 Bm G Em7 Bm

G Em7 Bm Csus2
He could get away with murder one, and you would clean the smoking gun,
G Em7 Bm
With every crime, you bought each line, but not this time, you'll make him
A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F#
Eat his words cause
Chorus:
G Em7 Dsus4 Csus2
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
G Em7 Dsus4 Csus2
Shaken while he stirred, when you awaken you will
G Em7 A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F#
Make him eat his, make him eat his
G Em7 Dsus4 Csus2
Words while he's alone, cause you won't be around and
G Em7 A7sus4 G/B Csus2 G/F#
From now on the phone stays off the

G Em7 Bm G Em7 Bm
