Intro: [Dm] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [Dm] [Bb]
[F] [Am]
Th[F]e footsteps in [C]the stairs
They just r[Bb]uined my peac[F]e
With a [C]layman's sense of s[Am]tyle
H[Dm]e arrived
An[F]d I never li[C]ked
The cloak-and-da[Bb]gger approach to l[F]ove
But with th[C]at, one day at a t[Am]ime
I[Dm] get by
A[F]ll the strain of being w[Bb]ith him
I [C]may appear ins[Am]ane
S[Am]omeone in c[Bb]onstant [F]search for [C]pain
B[F]ut seen against a [Bb]backdrop
A f[C]abric not that[Am] thin
I[Bb]t's all good, I coul[F]d've been
F[Dm]orgetting the name of[Am] my lover
M[Dm]oving right on to ano[Am]ther
G[Dm]oing on like thi[Bb]s my whole[F] life throu[Am]gh
I[Dm]'m so glad it's [Am]over
T[Dm]hat I'm here with my three-leaf c[Am]lover
N[Dm]o longer out fo[Bb]r someone ne[F]w [Am]
But I, I never really saw the pieces fall into place
But I'm sure I saw them try
Yes they tried
And I never really saw the pieces fall into place
But I'm sure I saw them try
Yes they tried
All the strain of being with him
I may appear insane
Someone in constant search for pain
But seen against a backdrop
A fabric not that thin
It's all good I could have been
Breaking the bones of a lover
Moving right on to another
Going on like that my whole life through
I'm so glad it's over
That I'm here with my three-leaf clover
No longer after someone new
And that's why I've come to this secret understanding with myself
Not another one
Not another one
No longer out for another one
No longer after someone new
