Tough Luck

	  		

 





    Em                   G 
She puts her pen to paper 
    Em                   G 
Lines across their hearts 
    Em                   G 
You did it all to erase her 
    Em                        G 
You left her standing in the dark 


    Em                   G 
This time she’s praying for silence 

    Em                   G 
Hoping that you would understand 

    Em                   G 
She’s just building these roadworks 

    Em                   G 
So it’s clearer when they land 


    Em          A        Bm 
You can’t still own what you let go 
    Em           A        G 
What don’t you understand? 




Bm                G                          D            A 
Tough luck I said I’d be here in a month but you waited two 

Bm                G                          D            A 
Only coming back ‘round because you heard I was with someone new 

Bm                           G 
And I was waiting here till you came back 
D                        A 
My heart was bleeding black 
Em                            Bm 
It’s tough love that I’m giving you,  
Em                   Bm 
it’s tough luck on you 


He asked a question, she answers 
He made a crossword spelling guilt 
Empty boxes filled with chances 
But you just can’t leave the rose to wilt 

You can’t still own what you let go 
What don’t you understand? 

Chorus (2x)
