Landlord

C G C F Am G C

[Verse 1]
     C                        
I stood in the place where you 
    G             C               
fucked me and thought about how 
           F
I'd never see you again

           C                       
I still sleep in the room where you
   G            F             
 dumped me, voices still in the 
                  C          
walls and I'll bring home new 
      G
friends

        C                  
Gotta shake off these nasty 
      G       C                
addictions, to gratification and 
   F
self-flagellation

      Am                        
It's too late in the evening and 
        G
it's too late in general
    F                      
I miss having meaning and a 
   C               G
distraction from myself

  C                   G       
Want to be struck by new love's 
                   C               
lightning all fucked up dripping 
 F
wet and frightening

                Am         G      
Or just have something that leaves
                            F      
 me smiling to myself as I walk 
   C     G
back home


[Chorus]
               Am                  
But I'd become less like a lover 
     G                 C
and more like a landlord
            Am                   G
And I was less like a lover and 
                     C
more like a carer that I could not 
afford
               Am                  
And you were less like your old 
        G
self and more like your mother
         F                         
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm 
   C               G
just one of the others

           Am                   G 
You are less like a lover and more
                    C
 like a landlord


[Verse 2]
  C                    G          
Said I'll be your emergency 
       C            F
contact if you kiss me when you get 
back
     Am                     
I called you, I had to, went 
     G                        C
straight to your message bank

            C                      
Wanted to make up for a lost time, 
   G
make up for a lost cause
    C            F             Am
Would've stood tall, but for once
                 G              
 in my life I wasn't the one who 
                  C
pushed for the fall

    C                      G      
So one of these days I'm gonna 
                   C               
drop dead and you'll only remember 
  F
the nice things I said
                Am               
So put your rose-coloured glasses 
                      G
on, pretend you're fine until I'm 
gone
     F               C         G
And you can do whatever the fuck you
 want


[Chorus]
                Am                 
And I'd become less like a lover 
    G                    C
and more like a landlord
                   Am              
And you'd become less like a lover 
      G                     C
and more like a carer that I could 
not afford
               Am                  
And you were less of your old self 
       G
and more like your mother
          F                        
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm 
     C              G
just one of the others

       Am                      
I was less like a lover and more 
G                  C
like a landlord


[Verse 3]
           C                       
I still sleep in the room where you
     G            G
 dumped me
         C                     
Write songs about how I'm never 
       G                G
speaking to you again


Shouldn't make any difference, 
surroundings don't influence

The person that I think I am [x4]


[Chorus]
                  Am               
And I'd become less like a lover 
    G                   C
and more like a landlord
                   Am              
And you'd become less like a lover 
      G                     C
and more like a carer that I could 
not afford
               Am                  
And you were less of your old self 
       G
and more like your mother
          F                        
I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm 
  C                 G
just one of the others

           Am                     
You were less like a lover and 
G                    C
more like a landlord
