Verse 1
=======
F C Dm Bb
Nothing was saving our day,
F C
There was nothing to say,
Gm Bb
but you said something anyway.
F C Dm Bb
Claiming I stepped out of line,
F C
which forced you to leave me,
Gm Bb
as if that idea was mine.
Chorus
======
Gm Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,
F C
Speaking of course as your dear departed.
Gm Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,
F C
It wasn't me that you outsmarted.
Gm Bb
Oh, you stupid thing,
F
stopping it all
C Bb
before it even started.
Verse 2
=======
F C Dm Bb
I bet you knew it would come,
F C Gm
that's just like you, to sit back
Bb
and just play it dumb.
F C Dm Bb
One word of warning would help,
F C
but that sacrifice was made
Gm Bb
trying to save yourself.

Verse 3
=======
F C Dm Bb
Maybe that's just how I am,
F C
to fall where I stand, or
Gm Bb
I'm weak for that kind of man.
F C Dm Bb
One who looks helpless and brave,
F C
but you turned into a coward,
Gm Bb
I don't care for the parts you saved.
Chorus
======
Outro
