(1)  -x2-
F    -with (1) over-

               F
I don't come around
Never call or let her know
                   Bb
I got a life of my own
                        Gm
You know I hate to be around her
                  Bb
When she's like that
                      Gm
I wrote a song once about her
                              F
Called "The Brides Have Hit Glass"
You know it just won't last
                     Bb
To be on top of your own world
                        Gm
With no guardrails to cling to
               Bb
You fall so very fast
                          Gm
It's very odd to find her up again
               F
Staking out expansion
Seeking new exposure

              Gm          Bb
And when she holds out an empty glass
         Am
And she comes for a handout
  Gm           Bb              F
I ask for the same thing-it's sad
       Gm         Bb                      Am
And I hold on so sure I can take all she can
             Gm        Bb
Just to be around her
              F
Just to feel bad

(1)   -2x-

                 F
One day I will know
That's it's a waste of time
                            Bb
And there's a better road ahead of me
                          Gm
I just don't know how to make it there
                              Bb
So I'll just hang around and take my chance
                 Gm
Once again I'll roll the dice
                       F
And try to hang on to my shrinking paradise

            Gm          Bb
And when I holds out an empty glass
       Am
And I come for a handout
  Gm           Bb              F
I ask for the same thing-it's sad
          Gm         Bb
And I'll hold on so confident
          Am
That's it all I can give
                   Gm        Bb
To try to find my way again
              F
Just to hit glass

(1)   -2x-
