    A
You came and went away

D                 C              
Left me wide-eyed wondering what 
       intro riff
I know
    A
Like rain, you crept away
D                 C              
Left me high and dry on down the 
       intro riff
road
        Em                          
  walk up to G
And I'm waiting for the punchline
G             C                  
But I've been here for seven days
       intro riff


It's a shameful price to pay
Then I wasn't, was still dead and 
broke
The way I feel today
Continues after the ad
Makes me wonder if life is truly a 
joke
Well I'm waiting for the punchline
And I've been here for seven days
I'm waiting for the puncline
And I've been here for seven days

G          Em          C        
I tried to tell myself about the
                intro riff
 likes of you

Sometimes I wonder how
You do the things you do and sleep 
at night
The lines are clearly drawn
And so is you and you are always 
right
And I'm waiting for the punchline
But I've been here for seven days

Sometimes I roll the dice
You pack your bags and steal away 
the night
And I will always know
The way you lie and it will be your 
life
And I'm waiting for the puncline
But I've been here for seven days
And I'm waiting for the punchline
But I've been here for seven days

My daddy told me about the likes of 
you
My mama told me about the likes of 
you
My preacher told me about the likes 
of you
I tried to tell myself about the 
likes of you

Jam progression: D > G > C > A


I'm fascinated with people who live 
their lives in chains
I've always hated the way you lie 
and play a high fast game
And if I waited, would my life be 
such a cryin' shame?
I'm fascinated with the life of lies
 and shame
