[Primeira Parte]
E
I can see you standing, honey
C#m
With his arms around your body
E C#m
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all

And it took you five whole minutes
C#m
To pack us up and leave me with it
E C#m
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
[Refrão]
A B C#m
I think I've seen this film before
B
And I didn't like the ending
A B C#m
You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

E
I can see you starin', honey
C#m
Like he's just your understudy

Second, third, and hundredth chances
C#m
Balancin' on breaking branches
E C#m
Those eyes add insult to injury
[Refrão]
A B C#m
I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leaving out the side door

So step right out, there is no amount
A
Of crying I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
