Dead Horse

Am
Every morning I wake up
                                 D
From a dream of you, holding me
Underwater (is that a dream or a 
memory?)
Am
Held my breath for a decade
                           D
Dyed my hair blue to match my lips
              C
Cool of me to try (pretty cool I'm 
still alive)

( G  A5 )

C                         D      
I beat it like a dead horse, I 
             Bm
beat it like a drum
      C
Oh, I stayed with you too long
                D                  
Skipping like a record, but I sang 
Bm
along
     C
To a silly little song
                                 D 
I said I beat it like a dead horse,
                  Bm
 I beat it like a drum
      C
Oh, I stayed with you too long
                D                  
Skipping like a record, but I sang 
Bm
along
         C
A shitty never-ending song

Am                            A
Sometimes it's good to be the bigger
 person
           D                 C
But I'm so small I can't compare
                         D
And after all, it's only fair, yeah

I got what I deserved, I was the
             D
 other woman first
                    C
Other others on the line
But I kept trying to make it work
