[Verse 1]
G
Well I think that there's a problem here
G Fill B
her voice just don't sound right
G
but I left myself on her answering machine
G Fill A
said "I'm back in town tonight."
C
I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
C Fill D
all squint-eyed and confused
G
but even babies raised by wolves
G Fill B
they know exactly when they've been used
[Chorus]
C D
See when it starts to fall apart,
G Fill A
it really falls apart
C D
like boots or hearts, oh when they start
G Fill A
they really fall apart
[Verse 2]
G
Fingers and toes, fingers and toes,
G Fill C
forty things we share
G
forty-one if you include,
G
the fact that we don't care
C
now you've blocked off most of main street
C Fill D
for your faith parade
G
everyone in town now, they probably all agree
G
I'm lying in the bed I made
[Chorus]
C D
See when it starts to fall apart,
G Fill A
it really falls apart
C D
like boots or hearts, oh when they start
G Fill A
they really fall apart
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G
Now you won't even let me talk to you
G
we got some air to clear
G
we'd probably only agree on one thing anyway
G Fill C
that's what the hell is happening here?
C
fingers and toes, fingers and toes
C Fill D
forty things we share
G
forty-one if you include
G
the fact that we don't care
[Chorus]
C D
See when it starts to fall apart,
G Fill A
it really falls apart
C D
like boots or hearts, oh when they start
G Fill A
they really fall apart
