Intro: D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song) D No more negotiations dear Bm/Bm7 I'm runnin' out of patience here G Em Whisper congratulations in my ear G A When it's clear that we got nothin' much left to say D The monuments and maps Bm/Bm7 The skylines and the tourist traps G Em Would all do well if they'd collapse G A And send you runnin' back here to me CHORUS G D Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? G Em In all the pictures that you send me now G Em A Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder D Cars break down Bm/Bm7 And people break down and G A other things break down too Em I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip G A D And now I think I'm breakin' down on you D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A D Could you be more specific dear Bm/Bm7 Tell me what is so terrific here G Em Don't be to scientific but make it clear G A and never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay CHORUS G D Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? G Em In all the pictures that you send me now G Em A Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder D Cars break down Bm/Bm7 And people break down and G A other things break down too Em I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip G A D And now I think I'm breakin' down on you G D Have another sedative It gets so repetitive G D And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K. G D And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice Em G If ever it'll help me get through the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah, SOLO (Play main part four times) D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A CHORUS G D Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"? G Em In all the pictures that you send me now G Em A Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder D Cars break down Bm/Bm7 And people break down and G A other things break down too Em I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip G A And now I think I'm breakin' down on... D Cars break down Bm/Bm7 And people break down and G A other things break down too (spoken) Em I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip G A D And now I think I'm breakin' down on you G Bm/Bm7 G Em G A (fade out)
