She says it’s OK
G
The rent just went on entertainment
Am F
But, who’s gonna say?
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
It’s just not my day
G
She’s got enough stuff to get real tough
Am F
Well, she’s not gonna play
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
The garden’s over – grown
G
The trust is rusted, the link’s been busted
Am F
The seeds are sown
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The signs of regret, what do you expect?
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Echo in the hall
G
The ghost of the picture still haunts the master
Am F
Bedroom mirrored wall

[Chorus]

Dm Em
I suppose you’d say she made a fool of me
F G
Oh, but she has authority

[Verse 2]

Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
It used to be fine
G
Days full of music, nights full of music
Am F
Music all the time
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Invisible light
G
I try my best but I transgressed
Am F
It used to be fine
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The chances are used up, finances used up
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
The energy is low
G
Letters are returned, lovers are spurned
Am F
Delivered quite a blow
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The signs of disaster, I wouldn’t put it past her
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Dagger’s in the dark
G
The stale perfume in her old room
Am F
Heart of a shark

[Chorus]

Dm Em
I suppose you’d say she made a slave of me
F G
Oh, but she has authority

[Solo]

Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2 G Am F (x4)
Dm Em F G

[Verse 3]

Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
I guess that that’s all
G
The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town
Am F
Leaves begin to fall
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2
I guess that that’s it
G
The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning
Am F
And all the rest is just bullshit
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
The shadow’s getting longer, the widow’s gettin’ younger
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
The cup doth over flow
G
The luxury of pity, babe this wasn’t pretty
Am F
On with the show
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Life is a tangle, of one night triangles
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Of tangled-up life limbs
G
You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby
Am F
Goodbye everything

[Outro]

Dm Em
I suppose you’d say she made a fool of me
F G
Oh, but she had authority

Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2 G Am F
Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F Fsus2 F Fsus2 G Am F
