E E/C# A B7
Can't pretend that all is well it's like I'm haunted by a ghost
E E/C# A B7
There are times I cannot speak your name but I catch it in my throat
E E/C# A B7
And if I don't sing this song it's out of fear of sour notes
(not sure
if that's 'of' OR 'or')
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
Oh I feel like a miser Oh I feel low and mean
E E/C# A B7
For accusing you of stealing what I offered you for free
E E/C# A B7
Oh it beggars the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
Oh I don't know who you're with these days might be with someone new
E E/C# A B7
And if you are I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do
E E/C# A B7
But whoever makes you happy it don't really matter who
E E/C# A B7
I've got a new lover now I hope you've got a lover too
Progression x 4 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
Praise the water under bridges praise the time we say we'll heal
E E/C# A B7
Praise the fonder that still grows on the absent heart and fields
E E/C# A B7
Praise be to this pain these days it's all I seem to feel
(not
sure on lyric? all the same i fear? all the same i feel?)
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
Perhaps the fault was mine perhaps I just ignored
E E/C# A B7
Who you were always gonna be instead of who I took you for
E E/C# A B7
I've been treated worse it's true still I expected more
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
But I will not chase your shadow as you go from room to room
E E/C# A B7
Dropping handkerchiefs and daggers smoking guns and other clues
E E/C# A B7
For what someone did with someone and who did what to who
E E/C# A B7
I've got a new lover now I hope you've got a lover too.
Progression x 4
E E/C# A B7
I got a new lover now she knows just what I need
E E/C# A B7
When I wake up in the night she can read me back my dreams
E E/C# A B7
And she loves them cause she never needs to tell me what they mean
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
I got a new lover now I know that she's not mine
E E/C# A B7
And I only want to hold her I don't need to read her mind
E E/C# A B7
And she only looks like you when she's in a certain light
Progression x 1 (E E/C# A B7)
E E/C# A B7
I hope you've got a lover now hope you've got somebody who
E E/C# A B7
Can give you what you need like i couldn't seem to do
E E/C# A B7
But if you're sad and you are lonesome and you've got nobody true
E E/C# A B7
I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me happy too.
