A-  Bm7  
             A                                              Bm7-  
So              who was first
A                                            Bm7  
        Obviously not                 me
A                                                              Bm7  
        She's locked up in -                    side herself
                  A                                                         Bm7  
And I            can't get anything                 free
          A                                              Bm7  
So            won't somebody                    tell me please
                        E                                                      Bm7                                              A  
Why the            former owner al -                 ways keeps the            keys
                                Bm7  
There's no                 bubbles to burst
          A                                                                         Bm7  
No            bursting out crying nor                 dying of thirst
                  A                                                 Bm7  
She's            utterly tied to                 somebody else
                     A                                                         Bm7  
And it            seems he got there              first
             A                                                    Bm7  
And            no, I'm not un -              tying
             A                                                                                            Bm7  
The            reins around her neck that she                 feels
                                  A                                                                                 Bm7  
And I won't            try to prise out of her the                 truth anymore
                          A                                                                              Bm7  
When she            lies about the things that              she sees
                                  E                                                      Bm7                                            Bm6  
Because the            former owner al -                 ways keeps the              keys
Bm6  
E7  
                        A                 D7+  
There's            no                    calling
                A                                                                            D7+  
Come            here, you're necessary to                      me
                                             A                                                                                            D7+  
There's no ex -            citement in her face when I im -                    plore
                  A                                                                            D7+  
Cor -            rupt me and confess to me                    some more
                                A  
And when    we            hear trees falling
                     Bm7  
Or see                 people disappearing
                        A                                                                                              Bm7  
Her e -            motions won't be reached or re -                 leased
                                  E  
Because the            former owner is
Bm7                                         E  
             (keeping the            keys)
                                                                                                                Bm7  
                                                             keeping the keys
                     A  
Like a            ticket inspector
Bm7  
                running for a bus
A                                                                      Bm7  
             Irony's revenge sur -                 rounds us
                                     A  
And it's i -            ronic that he promised you
                Bm7  
he'd                 never let you go
                             A                                                                            Bm7  
When he's         left you used-up and dis -                 turbed
                                A                                                                    Bm7  
And I said            Just as the early bird              catches the worm
             A                                                                 Bm7  
The            early cat catches the                 bird
                          E                                                 Bm7                                      A                    Bm7-  
But that            former owner is                 keeping his            word
E -
Bm7                                         A  
             keeping his            word
Bm7-  A
