         A#m
I can't think straight
                      F#
I've been thinking in love triangles
and vicious circles
A#m                  F#
Is it the same as before?
      A#m                                    F#
And I said I could never lie to you but you know
I always do
           D#m           F#
Is it the same as before?

Chorus:
     G#m
And miserys like a hearse,
          B
cos you know where you're going
          F#
There's crowds at the windows,
     E
but no way of knowing
Who they've got this time,
and who's going next
She always leaves a letter,
and signs off with an X

I can't think straight
I've been thinking in love triangles
and vicious circles
Is it the same as before?
And I said I could never lie to you
but you know I always do
Is it the same as before?

Chorus:
And miserys like a hearse,
cos I know where you're going
The waves getting higher,
and I'm tired of rowing
She whispers in my ear,
sings the cold black song
Hold me a while longer,
she won't be gone for long

And fetch the car girl,
I think it's time we got out of here
No breaks into the night
And with sadness my mistress
And with God as my witness
Just drive till it gets light
