Em  G

Cmaj7         B7      Em
i read in the paper today
            G               Cmaj7     B7
it's been a record year for rainfall
             Em                           G
and you were leaning against the bathroom wall
        Cmaj7        B7
in your lonely dress
         Em         G   Cmaj7  B7
was your only dress

Em  G  Cmaj7

Cmaj7   B7
stand accusing
Em
across
        G              Cmaj7   B7
i got a temper set for tender
Em                                   G
and you were shrugging it off like a feather
       Cmaj7   B7
saying "oh...
                       Em        G  Cmaj7
would you look at this weather"

chorus:
Cmaj7      B7            Em
what's the use of all of this?
      G                   Cmaj7
is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
as i'm watching it slip away
           G             Cmaj7
and in the annuls of the empire
       B7
did it look this gray
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
before the falllllll
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
before the falllllll

(intro)
Em G Cmaj7 B7

Em  G

   Cmaj7     B7        Em
so rake your thumbnail across
    G              Cmaj7   B7
the stretch of the patina
Em                G
revealing a proserpina
     Cmaj7       B7
in a low recline
     Em              G  Cmaj7
in a steep decline

chorus:
Cmaj7      B7            Em
what's the use of all of this?
      G                   Cmaj7
is to remember you in the entire
       B7               Em
as i'm watching it slip away
           G             Cmaj7
and in the annuls of the empire
       B7
did it look this gray?
does it look so gray?
does it always look so gray

           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
before the faaaallllll?
           Em  G  Cmaj7  B7
before the faaaallllll?
