    D - Bm - D - Bm

 

   D

1.     I can see you standing, honey,

Bm

    with his arms around your body,

D                                                         Bm

    laughin', but the joke's not funny at all.

D

    And it took you five whole minutes

Bm

    to pack us up and leave me with it,

D                                                        Bm

    holdin' all this love out here in the hall.

 

G                     A                      Bm             A

    I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.

G                           A                    Bm            A                             G

    You're not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now ?

                        A                      Bm                       D

You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out,

G                      A                     Bm

    I think I've seen this film before.

 

    D          - Bm        - D           - Bm

+      Ooh,        ooh,       ooh.

 

   D

2.    I can see you starin', honey,

Bm

    like he's just your understudy,

D                                                               Bm

    like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me.

D

    Second, third, and hundredth chances,

Bm

    balancin' on breaking branches,

D                                             Bm

    those eyes add insult to injury.

 

G                     A                      Bm             A

    I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.

G                         A                 Bm          A                            G

    I'm not your problem anymore, so who am I offending now ?

                          A                      Bm                       D

You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out,

G                      A                    Bm               A                               D

    I think I've seen this film before, so I'm leaving out the side door.

 

                          Bm                         A                     G

3. So step right out, there is no amount of crying I, I can do for you.

                D                                                    Bm

    All this time we always walked a very thin line,

                                              A                                              G

    you didn't even hear me out, you never gave a warning sign.

                D                                                   Bm

    All this time I never learned to read your mind,

                                          A                                                            G

    I couldn't turn things around 'cause you never gave a warning sign.

                      D                     Bm                    A

    So many signs, so many signs, so many signs,

                                           G

    you didn't even see the signs !

 

G                     A                      Bm             A

    I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.

G                           A                    Bm            A                             G

    You're not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now ?

                        A                      Bm                       D

You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out,

G                      A                    Bm               A                               D

    I think I've seen this film before, so I'm leaving out the side door.

 

                                                                                            G

+  repeat verse 3, (last line : ) You never gave a warning sign !

 

      D  Bm  A   G

+  Ah, ah, ah, ah !
