Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Remember when our so-called friend friend [Am]would not call out to you while tumbling [Em]loosely out a hole punched [C]through your home? [G]It's pretty clear,
though you could hear, [Am]you truly finally knew, in time, he'd tell [Em]his tale the way he'd like [C]it told.
Now he [Em]isn't on [C]the phone,
and his story [Am]might as well be [C]so.
[G]Well, loving

[Verse 2]
is as loving does, and I'd [Am]say we should know, because we both h[Em]ave loved, have lost, and [C]are alone. Y[G]our face's falling tears, to me [Am]they're lovely and they're dear,
though you [Em]don't love me and it's clear [C]that I will never see you in my arms. [Am]There's [Em]no room in y[C]our heart for ev[Am]en this finely-sharpened d[C]art; a[G]lthough I had st[Em]arted to[Bm] think the[G]re might be [C]hope, it isn't so.

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][Em][C][G][C][Am][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
So [Em]wake up, [C]make [Am]up some new s[C]ong again around t[G]he same tune. The water cools,
[Em]the leaves they fall, the sun [Am]it bends, the summer ends; our s[C]o-called friend doesn't [G]need you.

[Verse 4]
So proceed [G]out the door and down the street. Decem[Am]ber's lying near, but in [Em]the oven's heat this house is now a[C] home. Sixty[G] days of trips and stays y[Am]ou took to tell me, dear,
that you can[Em]not love me [C]because [G]you secretly s[C]till love a stone. Although I [Em]put my lips to your f[C]ace, trying t[Am]o push his kiss out of i[C]t s place, alt[G]hough my heart started to race, now it h[C]as slowed, I'll let it go.

[Outro 1]
