Intro 
            A 
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D   D   D 
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 

verse 1 
Bm                 D 
 Walk in the house, lights are off 
Em                                            D 
 In the closet by the door, there's your coat 
  A                      D 
I wasn't thinking of you before 
    Bm                      D                     Em 
Too many rooms in this house, so I keep going out 
                             D 
What the hell is that about? 
A                               D 
 We gotta find a way to be okay 


                           A  
And maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D        D  
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 
          A                   
I'm gonna break the fucking china 
A          G                      G       D            D 
Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone

Bm               D 
 When I get home, TV on 
Em                                        D 
 Drink in my glass, better make it strong 
            A                      
Some nights wanna fill this space 
D 
 A tight dress and a pretty face 
Bm                    D                    Em   
  Keep finding things that you left on purpose 
                                         D 
Did you plan that your timing's perfect? 
             A           D 
Gotta find a way to be okay 


                       A       
Maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D        D  
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 
          A                   
I'm gonna break the fucking china 
A          G                      G       D            D 
Cause it's just one more reminder you're gone, you're gone 

Post-Chorus 
                 A 
We were building brick by brick 
A        G           G    D       D 
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah 
               A         
So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D        D  
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 

Bridge 
Bm 
 I could put a sign in the lawn 
D                                 G 
 But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go 
                  G 
And I don't wanna let you go 
Bm 
 I could put a sign in the lawn 
D                                 G 
 But it'd mean that I would wanna let you go 
                  G 
And I don't wanna let you go 


            A 
I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D       D 
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 
          A 
I'll burn everything that binds us 
A      G                       G   D     D 
Take a lighter to the mattress and run 

Post-Chorus 
                 A 
We were building brick by brick 
A        G           G    D       D 
Now it's just a quicksand home, yeah 
               A         
So I'll take a chainsaw to the sofa 
A       G                        G    D        D  
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 

Yeah, so long
