Verse 1
D                 G   D/F#      Em    Em7 
on a freezing Chicago street we shook 
     D                        G         D/F#      Em 
your hands were tremblin from all those pills you took 
           Bm                 Em                 C     N.C. 
and we got drunk on cheap red wine in a paper cup 
 
Verse 2
    D              G        D/F#    Em    Em7 
and I was barely awake when you got home 
    D                     G          D/F#     Em 
and climbed yourself into bed wearin cheap perfume 
          Bm                     Em           C    Cadd9 
and Sarah screamed your every breath is a gift 
               Bm               Em                C      N.C. 
if you weren't so selfish then you might want to live

   D                     G          D/F#     Em    Em7 
so if your lover should leave don't get too sad 
    D                  G        D/F#    Em 
and don't compose epic poems to win her back 
                 Bm                     Em              C    Cadd9 
‘cause when your bird has flown, she'll never return home 
                Bm                   Em           C     N.C. 
though all your life you'll wait she never will return
