Intro
A D (x2)
[Verse 1]
A D A D
Well I said, "Take it or leave it," and she left it on the bedroom floor
A D A D
There was quiet in the corners, there was trouble in a bag behind the door
A D A D
And all the lies too oft repeated, they were seated in repose upon the porch
A D A D
And in the midst of all this clamor is the struggle to remember us before
[Chorus]
A D
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
A D
Saying this may be the single saddest book there'll ever be
A D
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
A D
And I will hear you, and I will hear you
[Post-Chorus]
F#m A D
And on that day you took your turn, I sat with loneliness we learned
A F#m
Hungry as the desert sun, darling of the doomed and drunk
A
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear
D A D
And does insist that these things always end like this
A D
Like this
A
Whoaaaa
A D A D
This, like this
[Verse 3]
A D
Well we knew there would be trials
A D
We knew there would be falls
A D
And it was gonna take a while yet
A D
To start to see results
[Chorus]
A D
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
A D
Saying this may be the single saddest book there'll ever be
A D
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
A D
And I will hear you, and I will hear you
[Post-Chorus]
F#m A D
And on that day you took your turn, I sat with longing as we learned
A F#m
Hungry as the desert sun, darling of the doomed and drunk
A
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear
D A D
And does insist that these things always end like this
A D
Like this
A
Whoaaaa
D A D
This, like this
