[Intro 1]
[C][D][C][D][C][D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]bed
was still warm where I slept
From [C]these [D]hours I wish to forget
With the night still fresh on my breath
I awoke to the grim face of death

[Verse 2]
I [C]thought it was all just [G]a nightmare
I [D]guess [Dsus4]it[D][C]
[G]was true
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
As I crawled across the floor
[Dsus4]for the door[D]
From one room I don't
know to the next
There was nothing familiar around
And [Dsus4]it just a[D]in't my style to[C][G]
[D]lea[Dsus4]ve the se[D]at [C]down[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]
I [G]pulled on my clothes still half in a dream
As I struggled with my conscience & a
multidirec[D]tional stream
(What ya take her for)
[G]I buried my loneliness
with her for the night
Then I left with new symptoms no
antidepressant could [D]cure
(What ya take her for)
She [Em]took me for [G]all I was [D]worth
May I re[Em]mind you that [G]ain't much [D]at all
A [Em]meaningless [G]gesture in
the [D]meanest of times
As [Em]it turns out you [G]weren't worth [D]the call

[Verse 5]
I [C]though [G]it [D]was[C] all just a nightm[G]are
I guess it was [D]true
But [C]now I'm left with a
[G]daily reminder of you
[D]

[Verse 6]
With [G]equal surprise she opened her eyes
Sat up and shouted "for christ sakes
who the hell [D]are you!"
(What she take ya for)
[G]She cooked me my breakfast
then called me a cab
Shoved me out the door
& threw the five dollar
Fare in my [D]face
(What she take ya for)
[Em]She took me for [G]all I was [D]worth
May I re[Em]mind you that [G]ain't much [D]at all
A [Em]meaningless [G]gesture in
the [D]meanest of times
As [Em]it turns out you [G]weren't worth [D]the call

[Verse 7]
I [C]though it was all just [G]a nightmare
I guess [D]it [C]was[G] true[D]
But [C]now I'm left with a [G]daily reminder of you
[D]
