Calling And Not Calling My Ex


D D (little riff) G G/f# x2 D She was once mine G G/f# D G G/F# That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that stuck inside the Sunday Times D G G/F# (and so on...) She was so sweet on Christmas Eve With the snow set deep, when we went walking through the pines Em G I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived D/F# And the new year would see her flying far away from me A A?(002223) D G G/f# Though I didn't know it at the time D With outstretched hands G G/f# Now she commands D A A famous figure for every picture D G G/f# And she stands up strong and she demands D And they deliver A Yeah, she's a fixture Em G D/F# And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that I might feel, should she appear A Just like it hasn't been three years Em G And there's a distance to her voice over the phone and that's because she stands D/F# alone A A? While I'm still sitting here Em Bm Girl, you see me here on another quiet night D/F# A I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives Em Bm I'll decide where the light's even and bright D/F# A Em Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly, just gliding softly by Bm D/F# And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees some Christmas Eve some A Em god was kind enough to set aside Bm Although I'd love you to, I'm proud of you D/F# A God knows I'm feeling really stupid now D G G/f# For having ever said goodbye D During the fight G G/f# I said, "Yeah right" D G G/f# When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write D G G/f# Now, I know you're working hard so I never hear from you, and that's fine D G G/f# You look the same on TV as when you were mine Em Bm A I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control Em Bm A I watch you from the distance, you go walking through the terminal Em D/F# I remember ever instance, when you stung me A Oh, you're so lovely Em Oh, you're so smart G A D G G/F# x2 So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, go break their hearts D G G/f# Go break their hearts Baby, break their hearts And I know you will
