Lyrics

The day breaks into pieces when I think about her
Like a puzzle on the coffee table
She's working too hard to stay in place
To put every piece back in the right space

Bm G
I know I know I know
Bm A
It Sure feels like an accident
Bm G
A little too much to take
Bm A
I could see how she might break

D pinky on F# to E to D to E repeat
2. A little bit of love a little bit of war
It ain't like we never seen it happen before
He was a lawyer it was years ago
Something went down they don't talk no more
Bm G
I know,, I know, I know,
Bm A
I don't think she's heard from him
Bm G
But She don't tell me stuff
Bm A
Maybe this is how it begins

D pinky on F# to E to D to E repeat
3. Maybe they deserved each other
But I guess I should not say that
I don't know too much about it
I should leave it at that

G D
There's no one left she's all alone
G D
She don't even bother to turn on her phone
G D
Don't want to hear it ring anyway
G D
Don't want to talk she got nothing to say


D pinky on F# to E to D to E repeat
But Lisa says she seen her crying
She hears her crying every night
She says she's okay but she's lying
But I know it ain't alright

Lisa says he took it all with him
He did it all out of spite
He took it too far turned love into war
It ain't like it never happened before

G D
There's no one left she's all alone
She won't even bother to turn on her phone
Don't want to hear it ring anyway
Don't want to talk she got nothing to say

D pinky on F# to E to D to E repeat
She does what she can the best that she can
Don't need anyone sure don't need a man
Every night she tries to find the edge
Cigarettes and gin on the window ledge

Bm G
I know I know I know
Bm A
It might be making me sad
Bm G
Sometimes I want to call
Bm A
When I do it don't ring at all

G D
She don't even bother to turn on her phone
She won't even bother to turn on her phone
She don't even bother to turn on her phone
She won't even turn on her phone
Bm G
I know I know I know
Bm A
It just might be making me sad
Bm G
Sometimes I want to call

A tightly bound arrangement not unlike a great ensemble cast of actors; each carrying, supporting and being sympathetic to one another.
