        F# 
In the valley 
         C# 
And my heart sinks  
            A# 
There'll be no strings  
           F# 
I'm worth nothing 
          F# 
When the sad wind  
          C# 
From the night said  
           A#     
Help me pretend  
       F# 
that you'll sin 
         F# 
In the dark space  
                   C# 
The touch of your soft face 
               A# 
In front of a fireplace  
             F# 
Would you believe me  
        F# 
If the phone rings 
          C# 
Tell him nothing  
          A# 
Or maybe one thing  
              F# 
That hell is coming 
 
          G#          A#   F#   D# 
Cause he waisted your ti - me  
      G#            A#   F#    D#   
In a year you'll be mi - ne 
         G#         A# 
No, you don't fare well 
         F#         D# 
No, you don't fare well 
         G#         A#          F# 
No, you don't fare well without me 
 
        F# 
When I feel numb 
           C# 
From your answer  
          A# 
I take a kinder 
                 F# 
Appreciate your kin, girl 
         F# 
If the glove fits 
           C# 
Above the tool box 
              A# 
You'll hear a pin drop 
                F# 
At the sound of my thoughts 
         F# 
Now the pain cries 
        C# 
Down a cheek it dries 
         A# 
Oh, the pink sky 
                 F# 
And back little white lies 
         F# 
When my eyes sting 
                C# 
Where my heart sinks 
              A# 
There will be no strings 
                 F# 
We're drinking lightning 
 
 
          G#          A#   F#   D# 
Cause he waisted your ti - me  
      G#            A#   F#    D#   
In a year you'll be mi - ne 
         G#         A# 
No, you don't fare well 
         F#         D# 
No, you don't fare well 
         G#         A#          F# 
No, you don't fare well without me

We're drinking your lightning

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh 
G#      A#      F#      D# 
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

No, you don't fare well 
         F#         D# 
No, you don't fare well 
         G#         A#          F# 
No, you don't fare well without me
