Lyrics

(D)Break ing up in the sta tion; a fi nal train.

I don’t e ven know (Am7)if I’ll ev er see you a gain.

Is it a choice that we e let ven (D)have?

(D)Bang, bang down on pi an o till I smash the keys.

Liv ing a lone with you the mel o (D)dies.

I Ev ’ry thing’s gone and I n’t don’t know where.

And the rule

of thumb

don’t ap ply

an y more

’cause the house

bles is burn

in’.

Try in’ to pull my self a way.

I’m caught in a pat tern and I can’t es cape.

Try in’ to pull my self a way.

(D)Late ly when I get lost there’s this thing I know.

I E ven the dogs (Am7)if have some er where you to go.

Ev ’ry thing comes if you just let it (D)be.

(D)Work, work, bright en the cor ners that will nev er see.

Un tan gle the thoughts that you know what they (D)mean.

I hope that the an swer does n’t come too late.

And the rule

of thumb

don’t ap ply

on y me

’cause the ta

bles are turn

in’.

Try in’ to pull my self a way.

I’m caught in a pat tern and I can’t es cape.

Try in’ to pull my self a way.

Caught in a pat tern and I can’t es cape,

(D)ev ’ry thing’s gone, ev ’ry (Am7)thing’s gone, ev ’ry thing’s gone.

(D)Ev ’ry thing’s gone, ev ’ry (Am7)thing’s gone, ev ’ry thing’s gone.

(D)Ev ’ry thing’s gone, ev ’ry (Am7)thing’s gone, ev ’ry thing’s gone.

(D)Ev ’ry thing’s gone, ev ’ry (Am7)thing’s gone.
