Intro: Em
Em D
You say that you've been better but I only hear you crying now
Em D
In the middle of the night when you're asleep inside that empty house
C D Em
Pictures hang to serve as reminders of memories from years ago
C D G
A vacation you took with an old boyfriend to the west coast
C D G
But it was too hot, and it was too hard to be comfortable
C D G Em
In the black hills in June at the foot of that Indian statue
C D G
Carved into the side of a mountain you paid all that money to see
C D G
And all that you saw was some rock but it made you feel grateful to be
C D G
You bought a postcard with its picture on it
C D G
And you're gonna send it back home to your family
Em D
You say that you're still angry, you just hate the thought of fighting now
Em D
And a heart can only hate someone so much before it burns out
C D G
Like cigarettes pressed against the glass of an ashtray
C D G
At first he felt good, but then he made you nauseous everyday
C D G
But it was too hot, and it was too hard to be comfortable
C D G Em
In that miserable house that you did your best to make feel like a home
C D G
And after the arguments you'd go to different bedrooms to sleep
C D G
But all by yourself in the dark, you couldn't help feeling grateful to be
C D G
And you found the postcard with that worn picture on it
C D G
That you never sent but instead kept it taped in an old diary
