C7M B7 Em
I read in the paper today
G C7M B7
It's been a record year for rainfall
Em G
And you were leaning against the bathroom wall
C7M B7
In your lonely dress
Em G C7M B7
Was your only dress
C7M B7
stand accusing
Em
across
G C7M B7
I got a temper set for tender
Em G
And you were shrugging it off like a feather
C7M B7
Saying "oh...
Em G C7M
Would you look at this weather"
C7M B7 Em
What's the use of all of this?
G C7M
Is to remember you in the entire
B7 Em
As i'm watching it slip away
G C7M
And in the annuls of the empire
B7
Did it look this gray
Em G C7M B7
Before the falllllll
Em G C7M B7
Before the falllllll
C7M B7 Em
So rake your thumbnail across
G C7M B7
The stretch of the patina
Em G
Revealing a proserpina

In a low recline
Em G C7M
In a steep decline
C7M B7 Em
What's the use of all of this?
G C7M
Is to remember you in the entire
B7 Em
As i'm watching it slip away
G C7M
And in the annuls of the empire
B7
Did it look this gray?
Does it look so gray?
Em G C7M B7
Before the faaaallllll?
Em G C7M B7
Before the faaaallllll?
