[verse 1]
CGD/F#
Well it's so easy to be witty in retrospect
Dm/FC/E
When you're out of door you pause a moment to reflect
GA7
On all the crushing one-liners that you should have said
CC/D
But you always were reduced to angry words instead
[chorus]
GD/F#EmG/D
Fighting talk on...the stairs
CG/BAmD
Is enough to show who never cared
GD/F#EmG/D
Fighting talk, who will be spared
CG/BAmD

EmD

CC/D

GG7
and swear
[interlude]
Cmaj7Cm
But oh my love I'm sick and tired
B7Em
Of all the cruelty love's acquired
A7
We never more need come to harm
CD
If you lay your head here on my faithless
