Key: A major

Verse 1
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
So
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
who was first?
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
Obviously not me.
She's locked up inside herself
And I can't get anything free
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
So won't somebody tell me please
D D 
 
Why the former owner al
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
ways     keeps the keys.
C C 
 
There's no bubbles

Verse 2
Am Am 
 
to burst
C C 
 
No bursting out crying nor
Am Am 
 
dying of thirst
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
She's utterly tied to somebody else
And it seems he got there first.
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
And no, I'm not untying
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
The reins around her neck that she feels
C C 
 
G G 
 
And I won't try to prise out
Am Am 
 
of her the truth anymore
C C 
 
G G 
 
When she lies about
Am Am 
 
the things that she sees
C C 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
C C 
 
Because the former owner always keeps    the keys.

Verse 3
G G 
 
C C 
 
no calling
G G 
 
"come here,
C C 
 
you're necessary to me."
G G 
 
There's no excitement in
C C 
 
her face when I implore
G G 
 
"corrupt me and confess to
C C 
 
me some more."
G G 
 
And when we hear trees falling
Am Am 
 
or  see people disappearing
C C 
 
G G 
 
Her emotions won't be
Am Am 
 
reached or  released,
C C 
 
D D 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Because the former owner
D D 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
is keeping the keys

Verse 4
C C 
 
Like a ticket inspector
Am Am 
 
running for a bus
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
Irony's revenge surrounds us.
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
And it's ironic that he promised
you he'd never let you go
When he's left you used-up
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
and and disturbed
G G 
 
And I said "just as the early
Am Am 
 
bird catches the worm
C C 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
The early cat catches the bird"
D D 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
But that former owner is keeping  his word
