[Verse 1]

G
It was the last day of the year
G/F#
It was coming down in sheets
F
I was sitting on the street
C
Soaked through from the sleet
G
I'd had too much to drink

[Chorus]

Am           D  Am           D
I called you up and drew you in
Am          D              G
I thought I knew but I was wrong

[Verse 2]

G                   G/F#
You came to my town I showed you around
F                      C              G
But everywhere we went reminded me of her
G
I'd been lying to myself again

[Chorus]

Am           D  Am           D
I called you up and drew you in
Am          D              G
I thought I knew but I was wrong

[Verse 3]

D                 Am  D                         Am
And I took to the sky with that knowing sinking feeling
D             Am            G
I'd only just arrived but I foresaw the end
D               Am     D              Am    
So I lay on the couch, helpless to my blunder
D                         Am
You turned off the lights upon me
G
And went upstairs alone
D
You knew that I was gone
G
You knew I was gone
