Em7                                  D    
Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races 
Em7                                    D  
One more night of running my mind over lost embraces 
Em7                                            
The steps you made when you walked away 
D                          G      
Still frozen in the ground 
G                 A      G    
Oh missie how you let me down 
G                 A      G 
Oh missie how you let me down 
G                 A      Bm 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Em7                     A 
And lies won't break my fall 
Em7                 G 
Lies won't break my fall 

Em7                                     D 
Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be 
Em7                                     D 
The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me 
Em7                     D                               G 
Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around 
G                 A       G      
Oh missie how you let me down 
G                 A       Bm                     
Oh missie how you let me down 

A                                      F#m 
For far too long you kept me waiting 
                                     G 
Reaching out into empty air 
A                                       F#m 
Even now you'd never say it face to face 
         G 
That you really don't care 
       A 
And if you never liked pulling teeth 
     D                              G                 Bm 
Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair 
Em 
Em7                                     D        
Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did 
Em7                                     D 
I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid 
Em7 
Or maybe I should just take a match 
D                               G 
And burn the whole thing to the ground 

G               A        G       
Oh missie how you let me down 
G               A       G        
Oh missie how you let me down 
G               A       Bm 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Em7                     A 
And lies won't break my fall 

Em7             G        
Lies won't break my fall
