[Intro 1]
[Em]
[C][Em]

[Verse 1]
Well, it's [C]five in the morning
and the [D]light's already broken
And [Em]the rainy streets are empty
for nobody else has woken
Yet [C]you turn towards the window
as he sleep[Bsus4]s beneath the cov[B]ers
And you wonder what [Em]he's
dreaming in his slumbers

[Verse 2]
There's a clock [Em]upon the table
[Am]and it's burning u[Em]p the hour
[C]And [Em]you feel your life is shrinking
like the petals of a flower
As you creep [G]towards the [D]closet you're so
care[Em]ful not [B]to wake him
[Em]And you choose the cotton dress
you bought last [C]summer
[Am]There's a time

[Verse 3]
[C]of indecision between
the bed[D]room [Am]and [Em]the door
But the part of you [Am]that knows that
you can't [Em]take it any more
There's the prom[C]ise of the future
[D]in [Em]the creaking of the floor
[B]And you're torn if [Em]you should

[Verse 4]
leave him with a number
[Em]And [C]in your imagin[Bbdim]a tion you[F#]'re
a thou[Bsus4]sand miles away[B]
Because too [C]many of his promises
got [D]broken on the way
So [Bb]you write it in a [Bbdim]letter al[F#]l
the thing[Bsus4]s you couldn't say
[B]And you tell him[C#dim] that you're
never [D#dim]coming ho[B]me[Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]She starts running for the railway sta[Am]tion,
[C]praying that her calculation's right
[Em]And there's a train just waiting there to
get her to the city be[Am]fore night
[C]A place to sleep a place to stay will
get her through another day
[B]She'll [Em]take a job she'll find a friend
she'll make a life that's better
[Am]The

[Verse 6]
[C]passenger[Em]s ignore [Am]her
just a girl with an um[Em]brella
And there's nothing they can do [C]for [Am]her,
there's [Em]nothing they can tell her
There's [C]nothing they could ever say would
change the way she [B]feels today
She'd [Em]live the life she'd always dreamed if
he had only let [Bbdim]her
Now in her imagination [F#]she's a million

[Verse 7]
[Em]
miles [Bsus4]away
[B]When too [C]many of his promises
got [D]broken on the way
So she wrote [Bbdim]it in a letter all
[F#]the things [Em]she couldn't [Bsus4]say
[B]And she told him[C#m] she was never
[D#dim]coming ho[B]me[Em]
And she told [C#dim]him she was never c[D#dim]oming
[Em]home

[C][Em]

[Verse 8]
I [Em]wake up in an [Am]empty bed a road
drill [C]hammers [D]in my head
[Am]I call[C] her name there's no reply[Em]
it's not like her to let [C]me lie
It's time for work it's time [D]to go but
[Em]something's dif[C]ferent I [B]don't know
[Em]I need a cup of coffee
I'll feel [C]better
[Am]I

[Verse 9]
[C]stumble to the bath[Am]room door,
her make up bag is on [D]the floor
[Em]It really is a mes[C]s this place,
it [Em]takes some time to shave [C]my face
I'm not really think[D]ing straight she
[Em]never let[C]s me sleep [B]this late
I'm al[Em]most done and then I see the letter
[C]In

[Verse 10]
[Bbdim]his imagi[F#]nation she's
a uni[Em]verse [Bsus4]away[B]
Too [C]many of his promises
got [D]broken on the way
So she wrote [Bb]it in a let[Bbdim]ter
[Bbaug]all things sh[F#]e could[B]n't say
And she told [C#m]him she was
never [D#dim]coming ho[B]me
[Em]And she told h[C#dim]im she was
never [D#dim]coming ho[Em]me
And she told [C#dim]him she was
never [D#dim]coming ho[B]me

[Verse 11]
[Em]I'm [Am]gonna[Bb][Bbdim][B][C][D][Em]
live my life,
[Am]I'm gonna [Bb]live my [Bbdim]life
[B]And she told him[C] she was
never [D]coming home
[Em]I'm gonna live my life,
[Am]I'm [C]gonna live my life
[B]And she told [C]him she was
never [D]coming home
[Em]I'm gonna live my [Am]life,
I'm gonna [Bb]live my life

[D]coming home
