Verse 1
(G major) So (A minor) (G major) (A minor) (C major)
(G major) who was first? (A minor)
Obvi (C major) ously not me. (A minor)
She's locked up inside herself
And I can't get anything free
So won't somebody (C major) tell (A minor) me please
Why the (D major) former owner al
(Dsus4) ways keeps the keys.
(C major) There's no bubbles
Verse 2
(A minor) to burst
No burst (C major) ing out crying nor
dy (A minor) ing of thirst
She's utterly tied (C major) to some (A minor) body else
And it seems he got there first.
And no, (G major) I'm not un (A minor) tying
The re (G major) ins around her neck that (A minor) she feels
And (C major) I won't try (G major) to prise out
of (A minor) her the truth anymore
(C major) When she lies (G major) about
the things (A minor) that she sees
Be (C major) cause the former (D major) owner al (C major) ways (Dsus4) keeps the (C major) keys.

Verse 3
(G major) no call (C major) ing
(G major) "come here,
you're necessary to me." (C major)
There's (G major) no excitement in
her face when I im (C major) plore
(G major) "corrupt me and confess to
me some (C major) more."
And when we (G major) hear trees falling
(A minor) or see people disappearing
(C major) Her emo (G major) tions won't be
reached (A minor) or released,
Be (C major) cause the former (D major) own (Dsus4) er
is keeping (D major) (Dsus4) the keys
Verse 4
Like a tick (C major) et inspector
(A minor) running for a bus
Irony's re (C major) venge (A minor) surrounds us.
And it's ironic (G major) that he prom (A minor) ised
you he'd never let you go
When he's left you used-up
(G major) and and dis (A minor) turbed
And (G major) I said "just as the early
bird catches (A minor) the worm
(C major) The early (G major) cat catches the (A minor) bird" (C major)
But that (D major) former owner is (Dsus4) keeping his word
