I want to cut off all my hair

And go out walkin' in the cold

And sleep here on the floor

Oh god don't let this be love

Stop calling me your lover
F
We'll stop talking on the phone
Dm
'Cause such a pretty voice

Just makes me miss the dial tone

Who so clearly has betrayed
Dm
My quest for being lonely and my
E Am
Promise of the same

Am
Well if I had a choice
F
And I'm only partly sure I do

I'd gather all my things and I'd

Leave town and I'd leave you

Take up a residence just off the coast and

Drown a year or two

Oh god don't let this be love

And if winter fell upon you

I'd light up a new bad habit

Start talking in the night

If I ever thought of you I'd say

Well the bird at my new window

I ain't never been in love

But god I ain't so sure
Verse 6

So I took to writing postcards

Send greetings from the coast
Dm
It's a shame I lost your address
E
'Cause I'm sure by now you've moved

So I'll never get the chance to see
F
Your new home up in flames
Dm
Well if I had a match then you'd be
E Am
Certain that would change
