[Verse 1]
        C#
All the working boys are
              F#
craning their necks
               C#
She knows they love it
                     F#
when she's wearing a dress
          C#
She works hard to erase
    F#
the lines on her face
        F#       G#
And the pills to help her
               F#   G#
cope with the stress


[Verse 2]
        C#
All the office guys are
                 F#
scratching their heads
               C#
She won't take any of
             F#
them home to bed After
C#
she's had her fill she
F#
hands them the bill
    F#     G#
And laughs on the phone
         F#     G#
with her friends


[Chorus 1]
A#m
   But she gets tired
        G#
All the games she likes
                 F#
to play wear her down


[Verse 3]
           C#
He got fed up with all
                  F#
the cards up her sleeve
        C#
All the half truths
              F#
he tried to believe
         C#
And that night at The
         F#
Top when she kissed the
            F#     G#
cop It just seemed like
               F#   G#
it was time to leave


[Verse 4]
               C#
She thought it may have
                F#
been time for a break
           C#
But lately feeling like
            F#
it was a mistake She got
    C#
the note that he wrote
     F#
and started to gloat
    F#   G#
Was left with a
              F#  G#
dull stinging ache


[Chorus 2]
A#m
   But she gets tired
        G#
All the games she likes
                 F#
to play wear her down
A#m
   She can't forget
and regrets the one
    G#
she lives without
               F#
On the edge of town


[Chorus 3]
               C# G# F# A#m F# G#
But if she let go
    C# A#m         F#
let go    would it all
              G#
come crashing down?
    C# G# F# Fm F# G#
let go
    C# B       A#m
let go  and it all
              G#
came crashing down
            F#
He'd stick around
