Verse 1:
D
 Break the news, you're walking out
C
 To be a good man for someone else
D               C  Cmaj7
 Sorry I was never good like you

D
 Stood on my chest and kept me down
   C
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D                C
 Did my best to exist just for you


Pre-Chorus 1:
        D               C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D               C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D                 C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
        D        C       G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark


Chorus 1:
G               Am        Em
 I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
   Am        Em        D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G               Am      Em
 But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
   Am      Em       D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe


Verse 2:
D
 I still feel you, now and then
C
 Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
D                  C    Cmaj7
 When you see me, will you say I've changed?

D
 I ride the subway, read the signs
 C
I let the seasons change my mind
 D                    C
I love it here since I've stopped needing you


Pre-Chorus 2:
        D               C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D               C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
        D                 C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
        D        C       G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark


Chorus 2:
G               Am        Em
 I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
   Am        Em        D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G               Am      Em
 But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
   Am      Em       D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe


Chorus 3:
G               Am        Em
 I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
   Am        Em        D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G               Am      Em
 But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
   Am      Em       D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
