Expiration Date

[First Part]

    E
The night I met you I said
    G#m
I'd never want to die
     C#m
If I had a boy like you
       B
'Cause how could death improve
        E
On that? And I want it known
 G#m
Let the record show
         C#m
That for all my talk of love
        B
I never once knew what it was

[Chorus]

         A
Until it left
        E
Left me here
   B
So alive
    C#m          B     A
But without you by my side
                  E
And that's what I get
           B                       
I spent my love on something with 
  A               E
an expiration date

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
     E
From sea to sea I'm sailing
    G#m
The memories are fading
      C#m
But I always see your face
B
Dancing in the waves
    E
And now what's there to say?
   G#m
So let the record play
        C#m
Because all that comes to pass
    B
Has nothing on the past

[Chorus]

   A
It seems
          E
Now in my dreams
        B
I'm the queen
   C#m   B          A
Of everything I've lost
               E
But that's the cost
                    B
When you spend your love on 
something
        A               E  B
With an expiration date

( E  G#m  C#m )
( B  A  B )

[Third Part]

    E
The night I met you I said
    G#m
I'd never want to die
     C#m
If I had a boy like you
  B
I hadn't thought it through
    E
And now the season turned
    G#m
And still there's nothing learned
        C#m
Because I've still got your letters
     B                             
And, yes, I read them twice tonight
 A


[Chorus]

     E
I am here
   B
So alive
        C#m      B     A
But without you by my side
                  E
And that's what I get
           B                       
I spent my love on something with 
  A               E
an expiration date
           B                       
I spent my love on something with 
  A               E
an expiration date
           B                       
Spent all my love on something with
  A               E
 an expiration date
