VERSE 1 (rhythm guitar)

Ab
I've got this notion,
           C#       Ab
that moving out is better,

Than this commotion,
           C#     Ab
if she complains I wont let her,


C#              G#
Tell me what to do
Continúa después del anuncio
          Bb     C#       G#
and when she wants to argue
Bb           C#            E5
ill remind her that were through



VERSE 2

Ab
A late reminder,
            C#          Ab
and post-it notes and markers,

Ab                             
were it not kinder her black eye 
   C#        Ab
would be darker,


C#                   G#       
And all these brown boxes havent 
     Bb       C#         G#
helped me move one bit
Bb            C#           E5
in half-empty rooms they sit,



CHORUS 1

G#     C#                   Bb
Stay thats where they will stay
C#             G#
I could never say,
C#             Bb
I would never say,
C#
"This is over"



VERSE 3

Ab
Ive got this cupid
       C#           Ab
humble from the marker
                       C#          
Its pretty stupid, but 
  Ab
none-the-less ill pack it


C#                    G#
and this boxcutters too dull,
          Bb      C#     G#
other wise id end it all,
Bb          C#              E5
theres still boxes in the hall,



CHORUS 2

G#        C#                 
And stay, thats where they will 
    Bb
stay,
C#              G#     C#        Bb
I could never place any other blame,
    G#      C#         Bb
And how could you even go,
     C#           G#          C#
on living if its so, unintentional,
Bb               (end with Intro 
riff)
I, Lied, to, you
