D
When you came back from trenton
G
All the sparkle was gone
D
And you stood in the shadow
G
And the curtains were drawn

Am
And I know you're lying
C                             G
And you know you're lying too
Am            C                                G
That is just about the only thing I know about you

D
When you pocketed your eyeshadow
G
And you picked up the phone
D
Stepped out on the balcony
G
And drank in the drone

Am
And I know you're leaving
C                               G
And you know you're leaving too
Am            C                                G
That is just about the only thing I know about you

D
When you stop on the sidewalk
G
And you looked up above you
D
Warm wet air came down to shelter me
G
How much do I love you?

Am
Well you know you're dying
C                           G
And I know you're dying too
Am            C                                G
That is just about the only thing I know about you
