Verse 1
[D]
Break the news, you're walking out
[C]
To be a good man for someone else
[D] [C] [Cmaj7]
Sorry I was never good like you
[D]
Stood on my chest and kept me down
[C]
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[D] [C]
Did my best to exist just for you
Pre-Chorus 1
[D] [C]
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[D] [C]

[D] [C]
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Chorus 1
[G] [Am] [Em]
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[G] [Am] [Em]
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[Am] [Em] [D]
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
Verse 2
[D]
I still feel you, now and then
[C]
Slow like pseudoephedrine
[D] [C] [Cmaj7]
When you see me, will you say I've changed?
[D]
I ride the subway, read the signs
[C]
I let the seasons change my mind
[G] [D]
I love it here since I've stopped needing you
Pre-Chorus 2
[D] [C]
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[D] [C]

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
[D] [C] [G]
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[Am] [Em] [D]

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[Am] [Em] [D]
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
