     D/F#     Gm      A# A#sus4 A#
The backyard balcony view
     D/F#     Gm          A#
Was empty as hell without you
        A#sus4 A#      D/F#
And the man that you trust
       Gm             A#                A#sus4
Worth dust 'cause he left without a word
A#         D/F#    Gm       F
Have you heard an apology? No
                          Fsus4
No comment, what were you on?
F      D#                                  D#m
Don't tell me you truly believed when he promised
  A#        D#   Fdim          D#m     Cm
Marvellous beaches, one of us each to carry
      D#m   F
the spade
 A#           D#     Gm      D#m    Cm
Don't be so nasty, Father McCarthy rolls
        D#m  F
in his grave

   D#                A#    F/A        Gm
I don't mean to be shallow, I'm just movin' on
           D/F#    D#
But it was nice to meet you
     A#             F/A     Gm
For love is but a fleeting friend
      D/F#         Gm/F       D#
We'll end up both alone, oh, we know
     A#        F/A       D#
How easy it is to pretend

Chorus:
D#                             A#          F/A
Sick of trying to be her and trying to be him
     D#
Exactly what is getting worse each
 A#            F/A
time and time again
    D#                                   A#
Is that not something you could learn if only
     F/A
on a whim
    D#                                 A#
Pretendin' not to choke like the first time
             F/A
you tried a blem

Gm
It's not really the time
                   A#
For kickin' and squealing
                     G#
Well, it's a silly thought
D#m
It's a silly feeling, ah

Oh, marvellous beaches,
one of us each will carry the spade
Everyone leaves eventually, darling, don't be afraid
No, really, don't worry, won't you scurry now?
While your life's in pieces and
love is but a fleeting friend
Don't pretend that you care either
As one of many broken hearts to mend
I see you and love just doesn't care for you
We'll end up both alone, oh, we know
Your father feels the same way too (Too)

Chorus

F/A
It's a silly thought
                         D#
It's like changing your friends
If you could do it once
Would you do it again?
A# F# Gm                   A#
         Would you do it again?
F#    Gm                   A#
         Would you do it again?
F#    Gm                   A#
         Would you do it again?
F#    Gm                   A#
         Would you do it again?
