Capo 2nd fret
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                         C                   G
Been doin' fine keepin' my distance holdin' my own
          Am7             C                         G
But if we got anything in common it's that we can't leave well enough alone
Am7                        C                    G
And I'll get you out of my head a time or two before
Am7                       C                G
You show up like an apparition just as I'm locking up the bar
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                                D
Now I got one foot out the door and you're still gettin' dressed
       G                         Em
Hate I can't say no as easily as you say yes
      C                               D
I'm a real piece of shit and you're a vixen in a dress
          G                          Em
I thought we was movin' on but I was wrong I guess
C                 D
Backsliders gonna backslide

[Verse 2]
G            Am7                           C                   G
Sometimes it feels like we're the only two people in this damn town
          Am7                C               G
Like everybody else and everything is just a daydream on the way down
Am7                         C                  G
And I either got no time at all or too much to spend
Am7                                 C                               G
Love you like a breath when I ain't workin' myself to death cos I'm longin' for the ghost of a friend
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                                D
Now I got one foot out the door and you're still gettin' dressed
       G                         Em
Hate I can't say no as easily as you say yes
      C                               D
I'm a real piece of shit and you're a vixen in a dress
          G                          Em
I thought we was movin' on but I was wrong I guess
C                 D
