Laura chords

Intro: [Bb] [Ab] [Gb] [Eb]

[VERSE]
[Bb]Laura calls me in the middle of t[Gm]he night [C7/G]
[C7]Passes on her [Ebm7] painful information
[Bb]Then these careless fingers, t[Bb/A]hey get caught in her v[Gm]ice [C7/G]
[C7]Til they're bleeding on my coffee[F#7] table

[CHORUS]

[B7]Living alone isn't all tha[F7]t it's cracked up to b[Gm]e
[F#7]Oh whoa whoa
[B7]I'm on her side, why does [F7]she push the poison on [Gm]me?
[F#7] [B]* [Bb]
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

(*First chorus only)

[VERSE]
Laura has a very hard time
All her life has been one long disaster
Then she tells me she suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign
She'll be taking some aggressive action

[CHORUS]
I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face
Oh whoa whoa
Failure to break was the only mistake that she made
Oh whoa whoa

[BRIDGE]

[Db]Here I am feeling like a fucking [Eb7]fool
[Ebdim/A]Do I react the way exac[Ab]tly she intends me [Db]to?
[Db] [Db] /[F] [Eb7]
Every time I think I'm off the hook she makes me lose my cool
I'm her machine an[Ebdim/A]d she can punch all the[Ab] keys
And she can push any[Ebdim/A] button I was programme[F]d through

[VERSE]
Laura calls me when she needs a good fix
All her questions will get sympathetic
Answers I should be so immunized to all of her tricks
She's surviving on her second chances

[CHORUS]
Sometimes I feel like this Godfather deal is all wrong
How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?

[*INSTRUMENTAL BREAK*]
[Db] [Eb7] [Edim/A] [Ab] [Db]

[BRIDGE]
I've done everything I can what else am I supposed to do
I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys
And she can push any button I was programmed through

[VERSE]
Laura loves me even if I don't care
That's my problem that's her sacred absolution
If she had to she would put herself in my chair
Even though I faced electrocution

[CHORUS]
She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had
How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?

Outro: [Bb] [Ab] [Gb] [Eb]
