D D (little riff) G G/F# x2
She was once Dmine
G G/F# D G G/F#
That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that stuck inside the Sunday Times
D G G/F# (and so on...)
She was so sweet on Christmas Eve
With the snow set deep, when we went walking through the pines
I had just been Emfired and her first offer had Garrived
And the new year would see her D/F#flying far away from me
A A?(002223) D G G/F#
Though I didn't know it at the time
With outstretched Dhands
Now she Gcommands G/F#
A famous Dfigure for every Apicture
And she Dstands up strong and she Gdemands G/F#
And they Ddeliver
Yeah, she's a Afixture
And it's a Emmixture of dumb jealousy and Gfear that I might feel, should she D/F#appear
Just like it hasn't been three Ayears
And there's a Emdistance to her voice over the Gphone and that's because she stands D/F#
alone
A A?
While I'm still sitting here
Girl, you see me Emhere on another quiet Bmnight
I will wait until anD/F#other indistinguishable Aday arrives
I'll deEmcide where the light's even and Bmbright
Where my life's sweet as it's D/F#slightly, disappointedly, just Agliding softly Emby
And you won't wait Bmfor me in some secluded D/F#stand of trees some Christmas Eve some
Agod was kind enough to set aEmside
Although I'd Bmlove you to, I'm proud of you
God D/F#knows I'm feeling really stupid Anow
For having ever said goodDbye G G/F#
During the Dfight
I said, "GYeah rigG/F#ht"
When you Dinsisted that I visit, that you'd Gwrite G/F#
Now, I know you're working Dhard so I never hear from you, and that's Gfine G/F#
You look the Dsame on TV as when you were Gmine G/F#
I Emwalk in from the kitchen and I Bmfinger the reAmote control
I Emwatch you from the distance, you go Bmwalking through the Aterminal
I Emremember ever instance, when you D/F#stung me
Oh, you're so Alovely
Oh, you're so Emsmart
G A D G G/F# x2
So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, go break their hearts
Go break their Dhearts G G/F#
Baby, break their hearts
And I know you will
